In short: Well organised flat fast race with nice t-shirt
In full: The race was well organised and having chip-timing was excellent. Getting your chip time and category position soon after the finish was a nice touch. Would have been nice if there had been lockers to store bags in at the hall. Got a PB so will definitely be back next year.

In short: A credit to the club.
In full: Stopped going to this race a few years ago, and only went this year due to a cancellation. Brought home what I had been missing lately,Iwill be back next year with kids for the junior races.
Only gripe is getting stuck near the back due to people piling in from the side of the start. Maybe the organisers should look at pulse start now they have chip timing due to the narrow first 1.5 along the prom. The fast runners get away but the mid packers like me get stuck.

In short: Fantastic race(s) great for both serious and fun runners (although the West of Scotland weather was kinder to those at the front!). My daughter (aged 8) loved the kids race and got especially the medal and goody bag.

In short: well organised fast race
In full: The atmosphere was great - plenty of spectators cheering us on. PB potential is very good (but it's hard to pass slower runners along the first 2km of the esplanade)

In short: Another well-organized 10K from the Troon Tortoises
In full: This is a very fast course, and gladly the rain held off until the end of the run. Good atmosphere at the start with the kids races on first, and quite a lot of spectators around the course.
Loved getting a text from Raceahead (chip-timer)2 hours after, telling your results! you get a nice t-shirt at the end and a biscuit.
