In full: Course has changed and is slower than when i last did it a long time ago, Really hot day and plenty of off road bits. Very friendly organisers and cheap by current standards. Results anywhere?

In short: A decent race with a nice downhill finish
In full: Our first time running the Great Bardfield 10k & overall felt it was a decent event.

Wasn't the most pleasant running along a fairly busy country road for 4k of the run, perhaps a more imaginative route could have been taken?

The field areas were a bit of a slog, but would have been far worse had it been wet.

On the organisation front, the use of a megaphone or PA would have been great at the start as the lady couldn't be heard. Would have liked a t-shirt or a medal rather than a water bottle!

In short: Friendly, quick course with lovely downhill finish
In full: Dry this year - hurrah, although farm tracks had a nice new layer of uneven hardcore which tested the ankles a bit. Always suits me this race. Local and PB'd it, so very happy.

In short: Well organised before and on the day. Good facilities. Nice course with a few challenges (especially the dust blowing in your face in places!). Nice fast downhill final 1k to finish got me a nice PB!
