In short: A V.Good race,
In full: A v.good race, a fast course makes good for getting a PB, as said previously the markers could have been in K but that about all really.

A cracking run just before Christmas.

In short: Nice event in town centre + you can do your Xmas shopping after!
In full: Nice race with good organisation on a fast course albeit difficult to overtake given narrowness of paths and runners going in both directions.
Minor niggles:-
It's a 10k race - markers should be in 'k's!
Water station at halfway on the wrong side meaning I and many others didn't realise until we saw cups on the floor and by then it was too late to go back.
On the subject of water, more help needed to pour/distribute at finish - but biscuits were a nice touch!
Will be back next year.
