In short: Very well organised, no-frills race in Hyde Park. Very flat apart from a couple of small inclines and results were available within a few hours of the finish

In short: Perfect for the lunch hour!
In full: Great way to get a short, sharp competitive run in. My first 5k, but I'll be hoping to make this a regular throughout 2010, and look forward to giving the usual course a try in January. Thanks to the all behind the scenes.
