In short: A friendly enjoyable race... but room for improvement
In full: Second time I have ran this race and have enjoyed both occassions... its a relaxed friendly race, ideal for beginners. Couple of concerns though, the km markers were unclear and easy to miss, plus running around the 180 cones is off putting. The biggest concern though was that there was no water at the finish for the front runners. However, I know that the organisers are now aware of this and are reviewing this situation for next time. Saying that, its still a good local race thats well worth supporting.

In short: A lovely sunny run round the park!
In full: A definite course improvement on last year made the course much more agreeable to run. Thank you organisers! Agree with previous comments about the U turns which does definitely slow you up but still got a good PB today. My only query is about the organisation at the end of the race - the Finish for the 5k was very deceiving for lots of first time runners who though they'd finished the 10km 200m before they had (with no marshalls to point them in the right direction). Also no water available at the finish when i ended - a confused looking marshall told me to go back to the start to get some which was not ideal, and i got the wrong size t-shirt. Small things and can easily be improved for next year.

In short: Fast, fun, friendly
In full: A credit to the organisers, who even arranged perfect running weather.
I can think of only one criticism - nobody likes U-turns!
Didn't notice many km markers, but wasn't looking for them - it's only 2 laps!

In short: Good quick course, only held up by a couple of u-turns. KM markers could have been clearer, but overall was a thoroughly enjoyable race. Thanks to all involved.

In short: The course has been slightly modified from last year, and has made this run alot better! Still a shame that we still have to run round marshalls a few times to make up the distance, but overall another well organised run!
