In short: Windy but fast
In full: I took over 2 minutes off my PB so well pleased. It was windy but there was a reasonable amount of shelter even heading into the wind and the course is as flat as anyone could want. A still day would have been quicker and I'll be back next year hoping for less wind.

In short: Flat, windy course, overall well organised and very enjoyable
In full: First time I've raced a 10 miler and have to say, love the distance. Overrall a well organised event, good encoragement at end, and scenary not the worst the fens has to offer. FANTASTIC selection of cakes in race HQ at end, well done to all!!

In short: This is a typical Fen run - very flat and a high wind!
In full: I thought the organisation was good from the parking arrangements to water stations and the excellent table of cakes and drinks at the end. The route is well marked and marshalled with a good welcome on the last bit. Definite PB potential.

In short: not a bad course for the fens
In full: Being in the fens this is a flat course with the only two hills being bridges over the A47. Winds througha few villages, but exposed at times to the elements. The goody bag could certainly be improved.

In short: Apart from that Fen wind a fantastic event.
In full: Ok, the weather is outside of the organisers control so that they cannot take the blame for.
this is a nice fast course with only 2 A road flyovers and a long gentle slope.
I met a few new friends and loved the event. not huge on atmosphere as the run is out in the country and weather was not conducive to a massed cheering support. But, a hearty welcome was given to the finishers along the last 400m.

In short: found it hard to find through lack of signs, but once arrived well organised. good solid marshalling. wind was bit blowy in places but a good course made good pb potential none the less
