In short: On My Doorstep.
In full: Cant have a more local race. Although a 4 lapper the run is a potential PB getter. Like Kylie Minoque - Small and pretty.

In short: Easy and short 10k in bargain £10, enough water and marshalls
In full: This is a nice local small event 10k in a park going round 4 laps on walkways. There was bottled water every lap if you needed. Many people have said it is short of 10k and if they made effort to extend the finish it would be nice. The medal is the average 10k medal but with a touch of thought by engraving event name and year. Good bag this year was only medal and energy drink but still a bargain for £10 especially as its a charity fun run for London wildcare. I would do it again in the summer as I was not 100% to get a PB on this flat course. Easy parking right near start as well. Toilets very dirty in pavillion.

In short: Great race not quite 10km (9.87km), great pre-race Intel about parking, good friendly atmosphere, flat course great for PBs - I got a new one
In full: Great race not quite 10km (9.87km) - I arrived on time. place jam packed with cars - footballers, church-goers and of course runners. The pre-race Intel was fab so I knew that I had to leave home on time rather than lastminute.com! Race started on time with a clear briefing of 4 laps and an opportunity to ask questions. Plenty of Marshals who were friendly and encouraging & visible presence of St John,s Ambulance. I thought that I'd be bored doing 4 laps but the time passed quickly. The organisers were great and took care of my jacket when I forgot it at the end of the race. I'll defo do this race again, thank you :)

In short: Good local run
In full: Nice, low-key local 10k. Well organised and friendly enough. A bit short of 10k though according to my GPS.
