In short: Too many twists and turns and 400m too long
In full: My garmin showed it 400m too long. So many sharp turns makes it hard to keep a steady pace. Not bad if you are new to running but hard to achieve a PB.

In short: It can't be that hard to measure 10K surely?
In full: Second time I've done this and secnd times its been 500m too long (despite talking to the organisers about it first time round). This time the marshalling was also poor at the end and they still haven't worked out that putting the 5K race 2 minutes before the 10K just results in chaos as the faster 10K runners try to pass the 5K runners. Avoid if you're in any way interested in a decent time.
