In short: Slick and smooth
In full: Great event as always and well marshalled. One slight gripe is that kids at drink stations could perhaps be shown how to hold drinks so that runners can grab them easily. But I thank them all the same for their efforts.

In short: I had a cracking hangover running this but even the marshalls managed to make me smile!
In full: The marshalls must have been the jolliest lot I have ever come across and it was freezing! Nice and flat and scenic (with woods and trees and cycle paths) very pleasant if you haven't got a cracking hangover.

In short: A decent 10 Miler
In full: This was the third time i'd run this race, so i must like it.
PROS - PB course, cheery marshalls, good HQ facilities, mainly traffic free aswell

CONS - Identical medal to previous years, only 2 drinks stations

See you next year
