In short: Scenic & hilly, fantastic organisation
In full: Plenty of parking, cheery marshalls, water stations and a testing course set around Eccup reservoir. All that hill training came in very handy! Very well organised, nice finish area with another drinks station and a paperweight memento for all finishers - different to the usual medal/t-shirt. Will definately be back next year

In short: Harder than it looks!
In full: I can't understand why this course seems so challenging. There are a fair few inclines on the route but they are not particularly steep or lengthy, yet having completed this race twice, I have found it tough on both occasions and run hillier 10 milers far quicker.
That said: It's a lovely scenic route, supportive marshalling, enough water stations and a great atmosphere at the finish. Many thanks to the Abbey Runners.

In short: Beautiful Scenery, well organised and challenging!
In full: This was my first time at running the Eccup 10, and there were a lot of club runners. It was well organised, i applied online and picked up my number on the day. The route was relatively flat for the first 6 miles, then it got 'undulating'! Plenty of water and encouragement from the marshalls along the way. It was a really enjoyable event, and all finishers recieved a little glass trophy; which was a lovely touch. Will be back next year.
