In short: Spot on, good scenery, pretty flat, can;t find fault except for the finish, as I actually stopped running and had to ask where it was.

In short: Definate PB potential especially as other local 10m runs tend to be hilly
In full: Yeah so it wasn't clear where the finish line was, but from where i run a couple of seconds here or there are not going to ruin my day. Some pointer of the direction back to race HQ would have been useful, I went with the flow and jst hoped that they had got into the car park as well.

Generally well organised with good and friendly marshalls, well done to Pocklington Runners

In short: Get down to brass tacks - it's good value, flat and a good vibe
In full: Right - scenery? Well I'd drive round the `Pocklington Scenic Drive' if that was important.

It was well organised and marshalled. Oh dear if you had to walk 1/2 mile to the start. Include it in your warm up then.

At the end I found asking the question `which way is it back to race HQ' quite useful for finding my way back to the car.

Never done this before but this is a top top race.

There was a query about the accuracy of mile markers around mile 5. Any observations?

Otherwise A1 stuff from Pocklington RR. Well done!

In short: Not a bad race, but chaotic getting to the start and a bit messy at the end. Lots of confusion as to where the clock actually stopped! That said, it's a nice course with no really nasty hills so there is PB potential there.
