In short: friendly, fun, undulating with a hill at the end!
In full: A generally flat course with lots of little hills going over canals, rivers motorway and one final decent hill at the end to add some mental & physical challenge - and made a PB a bit more difficult. Scenic country lanes and villages. Sports shop/stall and bacon butties/soup for sale added nice touches to a friendly and fun 10k. Best arrive early for parking.

In short: A New Year must, thanks Diane for keeping it going!
In full: Love this race, lots of people to fit into the start venue but if everyone's sensible and takes responsibility! Well done Diane and helpers this is a local tradition and great to catch up with all local runners. Course is enjoyable, seems more down than up so always a bonus! The wind was always a head wind?!
So many prizes on offer!
Well done!

In short: Good course but not the best organised event around
In full: The course is a real treat with a few hills to provide a test and some very good country roads.
The start is disorganised and hazardous. Perhaps the race director should have concentrated more on getting people to start in realistic positions rather than trying to be a comedian.
If only the organisers could have shown the same cheeriness that the lady selling the cakes then this would have been a more enjoyable event.

In short: Good race worth doing. I didnt realise how hilly garstang was though.
