In short: Well done Billericay for once again organising a good 10k. The hill at the start keeps you honest and once in the country a good course
In full: Starting with a well organised car park and a nice warm place to meet with a good selection of snacks etc. the event moves on to a well organised start and a good course that is pretty quick once the first kilometre is negotiated. Helpful and friendly marshals (plenty of them) guide you round the course on to a spacious finishing area. Only two small bug bears, no date on the tee-shirt and the old gripe of the slowest runners insisting on starting near the front and blocking the road for the pretty slow runners who do go to the back of the grid to let the quick boys and girls race.
