In short: Excellent Day!!
In full: Marshalls all very friendly and encouraging. Very pleasant route. Liked the idea of a banana at the finish as well as water. Very well organised day. Will definitely do it next year - but could you organise a bit of a cooler day :)
Congratulations to Chelsea Hawkins on her lovely t-shirt design!

In short: Cramped at the start,but it spread out quickly and went well.
In full: I was a little overwhelmed by the sardine-tin conditions on the start line (I don't like crowds), but once I got running it was fun. Unlike others I actually did get a new PB by over five minutes, but that was probably because the only other 10k I've done was "The Run 11" where it was 29 degrees. I actually did also stop for a moment at the water station, because it was my kids handing out the water. They also had a great race experience, and you'll probably see them again next year.

In short: Well organised, enthusiastic marshals, great route, fab t-shirt
In full: Well done to the organisers of the race. Very clear instructions and notifications before the race. On the day well signed, helpful marshals. The race itself was very undulating with a few hills. Enthusiastic marshals all the way and a welcome drink on route. The finish was great with chap on mike encouraging you to the finish line. Water and banana was great along with a very nice yellow t- shirt. Very good quality. Will be back next year!

In short: My 1st 10k, it was very well organised. A really friendly atmosphere with lots of encouragement from marshalls and spectators. Course gives some good views of the countryside. it was very hot though!

In full: The size of it gives you the atmosphere. the start and finish commentary is motivational. the course is a country delight. The professionalism and organisation is second to none.

In short: Well organised ... But very hot!
In full: Very well organised. The marshalls were excellent! It's too hilly for a PB ... But the hot weather made it difficult.

In short: A really well organised race with excellent marshalls.
In full: This year the sun decided to pay Lichfield a visit and it was hot, luckily there was plenty of water :o)
Well organised with loads of supportive marshalls. The technical t-shirt was probably worth the entry fee alone. It's a shame I ordered a small and it would only fit a small child and there was no option of swapping sizes.
