In short: Flat, well organised, great cakes and woolly hat at the finish
In full: The weather promised sleet and high winds but on the day was very acceptable. The home made cakes at the finish were a real treat. Efficient and friendly marshalling and well marked course. My first 10 miler, really enjoyed it, will definitely do this one again whatever the weather.

In short: Faultless organisation
In full: Well worth the long journey. Excellent organisation that really couldnt be faulted with great and enthusiastic marshals. I had a poor run though - but thats nothing to do with the course or the race. Will do again when I can do it justice!

In short: been before and I will be back for more!
In full: Even though this is a bit far out for me, well worth the trip. The combination of the super flat course, the extra hour in bed, easy to find location and super friendly marshalls make this a MUST DO event. My only hesitation in giving this full marks is that it will sell out before I enter next year. Please inform me when it opens for entries. Ace Race

In short: Well organised club race, thanks Fenland
In full: Very quick course when not windy - the fen is exposed to the elements. Fortunately only a light breeze this year allowed some very fast times to be recorded on this flat course.

In short: My first 10 mile - and it was a good choice!
In full: Very flat, and in 2010 the weather was perfect - not too cold, not hot, no rain, and no wind (rarity that last one). The course is all on the road, and there are very few cars in this part of the country. Not too many spectators either, mostly marshals (seem to be millions of them!) Organization is very good overall; just about enough showers/toilets for the size of the race. Long-sleeve shirt is nice - can get it from HQ before or after the race. The only minor quibble - queue for tea/cake at the end was too long to contemplate.
