In short: Well organised 10k, good atmosphere and support from marshalls. Course was fairly flat
In full: Really enjoyed this race. Good car park provision, with one that you could leave early from. Weather was perfect and I ran much quicker than expected. A few slight hills but mainly flat.

In short: A great race, worth the money, friendly atmosphere.
In full: Well organised local race. PLenty of facilities ie toilets, changing rooms, refreshments at the start/finsh area. Plenty of parking close by. Best atmosphere at a race this year. First 5k I thought was fast but it get's a bit more challenging in the second half of the race. Water station at halfway, I didn't need it myself but it's a nice touch. Would of been perfect if there had of been a timing mat at the start aswell as the finish. There was even a dog running in the race.

In short: Well ogranised race race round country lanes
In full: First time for me at this one and thought it was a well organised race around traffic free country lanes (although I don't think there were official road closures).

The start was on a narrow country lane and was congested. It wasn't helped by the ususal suspects starting too near the front and moaning as they got jostled as the crowds went past them. After about half a mile though the crowds thinned out
