In short: The model by which all local 10k races should be judged
In full: What's not to like. Great fast 'n' flat course. Fabulous atmosphere. Organisation was faultless both before and after the race. AWESOME good bag with the best technical tee.
If the wind stays away I defy anybody not to PB on this course. It is pancake flat and of the right size, in terms of the field, to pick people off as you go.
The start is narrow so the initial 2-3 minutes is probably a little slower than ideal but at least it stops the cavalry charge start that may be regretted later!
Congratulations Mad Dog - you're a credit to running.

In short: Friendly atmosphere and quick course
In full: Good atmosphere and some scenic views. Parts of the course do get narrow (half way point) which would benefit from road closures.
Enjoyed the whole day and the goody bag was very good!

In short: Fantastic race. Well organised. Closed roads - most of them. Flat. Fantastic goody bag with useful stuff!
In full: I loved this. Wonderfully flat so great for a PB - I managed it! Fantastic communication. Man behind it took the time out to reply to my mail after it - how good is that? Lots of on site parking. Great technical t-shirt, fantastic goody bag with useful things. Definitely in my diary for next year. Who knows - maybe another PB!

In short: An Excellent race and a credit to Adrian who organised the event
In full: This is without doubt a fantastic race. The organisation was first class. The course is flat and presents an opportunity for a PB. Great encouragement from the Marshalls. The goodie bags are excellent which includes a great T shirt. Overall very good value for money and would recommend to others

In short: Good parking, unclear T shirt collection, good flat course, good marshalls, poor finish funnel
In full: I found this race to be very good. The parking was very well organised and the course was well marshalled and good. However, the run in part of the race (last 1K) was on the pavement which had a lot of large tree roots and was uneven. The road was not closed so we shared it with the cars which I did not consider to be too safe. Excellent goody bag but a very short finish funnel which meant that we were standing around for minutes waiting to go through the funnel. A longer funnel would have eliminated this problem. Good overall race

In short: Even better than last year!
In full: No wind this year so very good PB course, brilliant organisation and excellent goody bag. Free running shirt the best ever. My brother in law came all the way from Washington DC to run this race again after last year! Woof Woof!
