In short: Start needs better organisation, lack of memento disappointing
In full: Have run this race twice before in 2009 & 2010. The start is badly organised and leads into a "funnel" where you have to fight a way through the slower runners who have decided to go to the front at the start. The marshalling and water stations are very good, the finish gets a good crowd and there's a good atmosphere throughout. This year there was no memento - for the last two years a ceramic "Reepham 10k" mug was provided which was a really nice touch. This year I got a green banana and a bottle of beer, which was disappointing and made me question the relatively high entry fee. Still, no doubt I'll do it again and remember to start right at the front next time.
