In short: really enjoyed the race
In full: this was my first 10k, so doing 2 laps was actually quite helpful as knew how far there was to go and how to pace myself til the end. I thought the organisation was ok; there was confusion re the 5k/10k mark and i lost some time there, but as it my first i got a pb in any case! friendly as very mixed ability, have attended running club races that are too serious for me

In short: Friendly race
In full: Flat course. Fun atmosphere and broad range of runners. Very beginner friendly. Friendly marshalls but some confusion where 5k and 10k runners went different ways. Two laps got a little boring, but unsupervised toddlers, sausage dogs and other obstacles kept it interesting. Steep entry fee but all for a good cause. Overall would do it again.

In short: good race well organised
In full: a good course though the bridge's slowed you up and the public got in the way.
my garmin measured the course at 6.16 miles only slightly short of the 6.2 miles

In short: A nice run in the park
In full: Could have had better directions...hand drawn map of the course not too helpful if you don't know the city. Family came along so 2 lap nature of course was good for spectators. Small enough to have a really friendly feel and wouldn't over awe first timers
