In short: Please extend by 300m
In full: I have run this race 3 times and do enjoy the race as it is flat, not too busy and away from traffic.
Mentioned by others also, but please could the organizers extend it by 300m. I was a little longer than previous years but still my Garmin had it as roughly 9.7k.
I would have got a usable PB by running the extra 300m which would have been very satisfying - as it is I can only say what might have been!
But still very a very nice friendly race and I will be back again.

In short: The cold shrunk the course! Freezing fun though
In full: Very friendly and well organised 10k. Simply done, burger van for the spectators and runners and a nice medal in a sports bag.
I only have one gripe and that is the length of the course. Mine and other Garmins made the length nearly 350m short of 10k.
I smashed my PB an got under 50mins for the first time ever with 46:23. I was on for just under 48mins if the course had have been correct length. It only needs the grass section to be moved slightly and the length will be correct.
I only have

In full: Beddington Park 10k has got it right - medal, goodie bag and good organisation. Just proves that the recipe is easy providing you get the basics right - your peers have a lot to learn from this. Great job!

In short: A great run
In full: Perfect Sunday morning run in a park. Organisation was excellent, marshalls encouraging and the sub-zero weather gave us the impetus to speed up a bit. Four laps around a park may seem boring, but it was a lovely almost flat course, with fewer races at this time of year well worth having a go next year.
