In short: Good one for your 1st 10tk
In full: Was a bit nervous as this being my 1st 10k. Organisation on the day was good.
NOt sure why I had to email them to ask about collecting the race number etc. Would have thought they would send you the details automatically. Also had to forward the details to other runners.

In short: Some of the stewards not very helpful and weren't paying attention. Went the wrong way at one point.

In full: Only negative really was that they ran out of liquid at the finish line - there was no water available at the end of my run.....also, the route showed 2 water stations but there was only 1 on the run. Would definitely run again though, not a deal breaker and love that it's a flat route!

In short: The bacon sandwich kept me going. A personal best, a generous goody bag and good views were much appreciated

In short: Excellent value for money and the free bacon/sausage sarnies were not to be missed!
In full: A great event, really well organised and the best value for money in a race I've come across. A fast, flat course, great tech t-shirt, medal, goodie bag and free brunch, coffees and fruit was a huge plus. Well done Hotelympia!
