In short: Excellent mid week race!
In full: I was on holiday in the Lake District and decided to do this race at fairly short notice.

£8 entry for a 10K these days is pretty cheap - but good facilities (a sports clubhouse) were available and a well marshalled fairly flat race were on offer which belied the cheap price tag.

I especially enjoyed receiving a bottle of Jennings Cocker Hooper (golden pale ale) at the end rather than yet another boring medal!

Well done to Hoad Hill Harriers.

In short: Lopt of work for a pudding
In full: No seriously. Organisation was great apart from a vague start line and impossible to hear race instructions. There were a lot of very confused runners 10 minutes before the start. Otherwise perfect, good route; the industrial edge of town start more than compensated by the loop round the Priory. Great friendly marshals all the way round, warm showers at the end, welcoming clubhouse. Much enjoyed.
