In short: Very fast race - no so motivating for beginners.
In full: I enjoyed the course but found the instructions at the beginning quite confusing. It is a very fast race so it can be disheartening if you are a beginner. Most runners seemed to belong to a club. I was disappointed there was no goodie bag at the end.

In short: Just for the fit ones
In full: If you are a super competitive extremely fit runner, you'll fit fine in this race, otherwise you'll probably want to find something a bit less tense. Organization was fine, but the scenery really not that great. Fortunately the weather held and it wasn't too breezy. Probably won't do it again.

In short: Smooth, well organised race. Fast, flat route
In full: My first ever race but it seemed very well organised, plenty of 'enter on the day' places. Sign in smooth & quick.
Very fast flat course. Slightly dissapointed there was no goody bag or energy drink afterwards.

In short: Finish wasn't very clear when you entered the running track at the end
In full: Clearer signage for the actual finish line would be useful - still managed a PB though.

In short: Really enjoyed it. My first smallish event, I`ve only done the Great south run before, but didn`t feel out on a limb from the club runners.

In short: Worst organised event Ive ever raced
In full: The lead cycle took us the wrong way, a handful of marshals stood about with their hands in their pockets. Poorly signposted course. Lacklustre start and the finish was a complete mystery, luckily some spectators pointed me in the right direction!

In short: Could become a good event
In full: Confusion with the two lead cycles, no male changing, no bag storage or drinks at half way, & a bit of a damp squib of a finish & presentation. These are ment as constructive points. I have run D-Day & Victory & would again question the course accuracy & positioning of some of the km markers. I had a full minute differential in some of my km splits!
Hopefully these are teething problems in the first race, & it could become a good event

In short: Exactly the same as the D-Day 10k
In full: Exactly the same as the D-Day 10k which happens to occur on the next bank holiday monday, dont know if i would do both.
Could do with more runners.
The wind was quite strong which is no good for PB times as it is a competely flat course.
