In short: A very well organised 10k race
In full: Pre-race organisation excellent.

Start - excellent.

Marshalling - superb.

Surface of course - multi terrain - road, track, field, pebbles etc.

Advertised as flat, but not strictly true.... A few undulations - but nothing serious by any means.

Finish - excellent finish line within scenic school grounds - nice straight at the end.

Free Jelly babies and drinks + medal.

Definitely will enter again next year.

In short: great 10km race with the most senic start and finish I've ever experienced
In full: Such a lovely start and finish location in the quad of a beautiful school. Course along a traffic free old railway line with a bit of a housing estate. Got a best time for a 10k race over the last 3 years. Nice one! Would definatly do again.
