In short: Nice course great atmosphere
In full: A continuously undulating course, a good challenge for a first 10k, 2 laps is a put off but that just personal choice. Great support from marshals very well organised would do it again, no chip timing so not an accurate time and a fairly narrow start for the volume of people, a little annoying over the finish line as this was narrow too and a man walked very slowly in my path ruining my sprint finish! still waiting for results to be posted.

In short: Very Well organised -
In full: I ran a starting again from the beginning PB and would like to think I could beat that next year - not sure it is an all time PB course which is 16.5 minutes quicker than I ran here.

In short: Great scenery and lovely location
In full: Thanks to the organisers for putting on the race. The bananas and oranges before the race were great. The start was a fair distance from the village hall and there were few spectators out on the course but those out there were pretty vocal which helped.

In short: No major hills on this 2 lapper
In full: I always manage a decent time for this race. Well organised and a nice traffic-free course. Medal, T-shirt, banana, orange segment, and water at the end. A good value race.
