In short: Lovely race, very scenic, would definately reccommend
In full: This was my 3rd 10k this year but first locally. I loved the scenery. Tree lined country lanes, a few cars but they didn't spoil it. The pre-race atmosphere was very friendly, family orientated and relaxed. The race itself was taken pretty seriously the bulk of finishers were under 50 mins and the winner coming in at 33mins. Overall I liked this race and would do it again. Great for a PB.

In short: Everything more than competently done.
In full: I entered this because there are not many races close to Colchester, but I'm glad I did! The race was well run and marshalled although I did not feel 100% safe from cars on some of the roads. I would definitely do this one again as I reckon it must be one of the fastest courses around. The highlight for me was the speed with which the results were published on the race notice board.

In short: Good course minimal hills.
In full: Good course although deceiving at the end as others have said with a slow drag to the finish but good for first timers at 10k. Message to Clive about the markers, I had my Garmin watch on and could not believe how accurate the markers were at eack kilometre with my watch beeping plus / minus a few metres from each marker. I would be intereseted to know what your device was and if you want info on the garmin please let me know
