In short: Good early season race
In full: Nice dry and mainly sunny day, I'm told not as many runners this year with some of the faster ones opting for other races. Enjoyable experience overall and a decent goody bag. Could do with a year stamp on the medal.

In short: undulating needs a fair few things ironing out
In full: Would think again about entering this, little disapointed, lack of marshels meant us back runners wondering if we were going the right way at times on this twisty, turning course, lack of water stations , one halfway round quarter of a cup of water, needs at least two on a hot day. Goody bag was impressive, t-shiert could do with event and date on it. socks apreciated, to was the drink at the end., plus why were there no car park sign and where the start was indicated on aproach to Boldmere gate and once in the Park.

In short: It didn't rain!!!
In full: Looked like it was going to throw it down but we were really lucky. Hard running a course you know where the hills are, didn't like running down the hill at the 8k mark with runners on their way back up the other side of the cones. The girls at the end encouraging us really helped :)

In full: Very well organised race - the hills seemed steeper the second time around.
All round good day out - thanks to the army of young marshall's!!

In short: ....that hil the second time around.... : (
In full: Not bad, its my first attempt at a 10k, ran virtually this course last year at 5k
Would have prefered not to do two loops in a park that size,really did'nt like that hill the second time around!
Had fun though. did a 55min ish, was about 4 mins of my ideal time, would have liked a 50. but i did pb my 5k time so quite happy.
Water station does need a re think though.
