In short: hmmm....
In full: i wont repeat what everyone else has said about the midway water station - or lack of, but i will say, considering that point, you should at least get a bottle of water at the end - and a fruit or something.the family fun run got a banana or apple AND easter egg for half the price we paid for the 10k - good job i did both, at least i had my kids fruit to eat, they just wanted the egg :)

In short: A very well organised scenic run, a real pleasure.
In full: My first race for a few years and I have to say it was superb. Traffic free and very scenic. I don't believe its particularly challenging and you have a decent chance of a good time. Great atmosphere with pleanty of encouragment for some of us slower runners.

My only suggestion would be a water point mid-way, rather than having to wait until the end (or carry your own). In fairness to Notts AC - they did make this clear.

Well done to Notts AC and the stewards - I will certainly enter next year.

In short: lovely setting good value form money, why no water station?
In full: 2 lap course through wollaton park, plenty of crown support at the end. i thought thisw was good value for money, i would however urge the organisers to ensure that one water station be in place around the half way mark. it was nearly 20 degrees and possibly the first time most runners had run in any heat this year.
other than that it was a well organised race, well marshalled giving good value for money
