In short: Lovely friendly race with great organisers / marshalls
In full: Missed the 2010 race because of a major op but pleased that 2011 time better than 2009! Was really happy with the medal - even happier to get a bottle of wine coz I was the first in my age group - wasn't expecting that so made my day!

In short: Nice race, well organised, for charity.
In full: Nice little race on quiet trails/roads.
Well organised with lots of marshals.
Results printed for collection afterwards.
Few hills, but still PB potential.
Great cause.

In short: Excellent, quick 10k race
In full: Race 3 of 32 this year, and a really well organised, quick 10k. Start/finish clearly marked, registration a doddle, and Dr Ron Hill at the start. Who could ask for more? Despite my GPS watch running out of battery early on, the course was easy to pace, and very well marshalled. All in all, a lovely experience. Will be back.

In short: great well organised race!!!
In full: What a race... I had heard a lot of negatives, too many hills etc.!!! what a load of cobblers!! I was misguided with my directions to the start, so was still in Chorley at 10.49, made it to the Shawes Arms (via parking in Park & Ride navigated by a very helpful marshall)to find I was rather late, i.e. race had already started!! Picked my number up, directed by the very helpful number people at the start and made my way....Got a bit lost (went the wrong way) but eventually found a marshall who told me which way to go (in a friendly manner!). I was then accompanied by a very helpful sweeper upper on a bicycle, who gave me plenty of encouragement and directions until we met up with the rest of the race. I found it a most enjoyable race, very well organised, excellent marshalling, lovely scenery, & Hills? one or two slopes maybe, but those were not hills!!! Also, fantastic momento at the end, what more could a runner need at this time of year? Hat and gloves!! brilliant!! I shall definately try and get to this race next year and recommend it to others with the fantastic marshalling and organisation!! Thank you so much everybody!!! xxx
