In short: Good Race
In full: Ran this race for the first time in 8 years, an excellent race to run. Nice and flat and set within lovely countryside. The only downside was after all your effort was only a medal. My only problems was I tore my calf at 4km and had to hop for the last 6km, with hundreds of people overtaking me, but the support is good. Will be back next year, fully fit

In short: A fast and friendly 10k and nice countryside
In full: Did this race last year in the heat though it didn’t spoil my enjoyment and had no hesitation entering this year.
It's a well organised race and runner numbers were both up in the 10k and fun run so it's popularity is spreading. I achieved my second PB within a week and the Woodhall Spa course is fast and generally flat. Even the cows were out supporting us this year. Stampeding through the fields on their warm up.

Well done to the organisers and just one small gripe, please put the year on the medal ribbon like last year. Will be back

In short: Very well organised race for a group of volunteers.
In full: A flat, fast course around country lanes. Set my own PB for this 10K. Both start and finish were well marshalled and organised. Only down side was the water stations where water was given in cups from a dustbin.

In short: Well organised race through the countryside
In full: I thought it was an very well organised race. The volunteers did a magnificant job and were very helpful and courteous. The course was pleasent and flat and conducive to going like the clappers.
Also thanks to all the runners who were all pleasent and didn't try and steal my balls
