In full: For 10k runners a drink would have been nice at the 5k loop. few steep inclines and well marshalled.
They thought well with the cattle grid by filling it in with bark....well done who ever came up with that!
where it was timed by officials it would be nice for a full results list or they could have called out time / place.
A small event but well organised.
tried keeping up with the quick runners only to find out they were only doing 5k !!!
Silly Me

In short: Had a great time
In full: Well organised, very friendly, busy, great atmosphere.
Hurrah to the marshalls - helped us get up those nasty inclines...
Enjoyed the freebies, especially the sticky fluffy puffle
Was it just me, or was there no water available?

In short: A very scenic course!
In full: Great Sunny day and a nice, quite challenging course. Bit of confusion about the price of parking.

In short: Great course once the crowd has filtered
In full: I liked the course, it was challenging in parts when pushing yourself.
Affiliated Runners pay more than un-affiliated runners!!! Guess everyone said they were un-affiliated. Car Parking fees were more than what was advertised.
Felt very sorry for the last female finisher who had to guess where to run on the final 150m as the organisers had removed the barriers!!

In full: Race started 5 minutes early - so no time to stretch
Parking was more expensive than stated - I had no extra change
Organisers had got my name completely wrong - and seemed fed up they had to re-issue me a number
Other than that, a fairly pleasant run and good turnout, thanks to the Rotary for organising it.
