In short: A good PB run, but poor organisation
In full: Enjoyed the day and the organisation of the event itself was quite good, with good marshalling and a challenging road course.

However to be missed off both the provisional results on the day and the long-awaited final results just posted has left a sour taste for the £15 it cost me to enter!

In short: Very well organised !
In full: Very well organised race good start base, with plenty of parking etc. Bottles of water at the half way drink station were a bonus, it meant we could keep running with the bottles unlike with the cups you usually get with which it is impossible to run without soaking yourself. However we did miss the chochlate bar! Overall a nice friendly race !

In short: A reasonably challenging course with a few decent hills to test the legs! Well marshaled and friendly!!
In full: If you have no knowledge of the local area then the race was pretty difficult to find (some race signs from the main road would have been helpful)! However, once we arrived the race itself was very good, tough in places but with a nice friendly atmosphere! Plenty of support from locals and marshalls. All in all a well organised 10k.

In short: Surprisingly fast course. Recommended.
In full: After taking strategy tips from an experinced friend, I ended up beating previous PB by nearly 2 minutes. If you dig in when the going gets tough, this race will reward you with a good time. Recommended. Thanks to everyone who organised and marshalled this race.
