In short: Problem with the 'year' drop down list ....
In full: If you have rated this race in 2009 already (August) you can not re-select 2009 as it doesn't appear in the list ??? This message will have 2007 against it as I had to use the 2008 year !

In short: Good chance of a P.B.
In full: The weather and conditions were perfect for me on Sunday. Broke my PB by nearly 3 mins, should also thank the Asics Speedstars.
Although the course is not what I would described as flat, there are certainly no "steep" hills and you should be able to cope with the inclines without too much stress.
Nice to see a good mixture of runners at this event, and although it was a little boring running around the track 3 times, I guess you know what to expect.
If your looking for a P.B. you have a good chance of getting one on this track, it will just depend on the good old British Weather.

In short: Well organised and great valve for money t shirt, goody bag, and a mention from the commentator on the way round. A great Pb course I took over 90 seconds off my previous best so that is good proof for a Pb! even a bouncy castle for the kids .

In short: Not a bad 10K
In full: This was quite a well organised event, even with numbers collected on the day. You could actually hear the starter, which is unusual. The three laps are a bit dull and to be honest I've run flatter 10Ks - this one is more very gently undulating, and there are more uphills than down! I've never been on a smoother course though. If there was no wind it would be a possible PB course in my opinion. As it was the wind seemed to be in your face for two thirds of the time.

In short: A good, fast course !
In full: Not as flat as you might think, you would not really want to be doing this event in a strong wind as there is zero shelter ! Very well organised on the day
