In short: An well rganised enjoyable run
In full: Well organised & good information feedback from entry to result. Need to improve position of eack K marker on route & water statins all needed to be a little earlier ie first one too long into run , last one too late. Very enjoyable & friendly.

In short: Nice morning out, set a PB.
In full: Well marked and organised, although the free BBQ for participants should probably have started earlier - the queue looked ot be about the same as my time!

In short: A great welcome from the moment you arrive. A good family atmosphere helped to give it an 'inclusive feel'. A great route for a city race.

In short: Nice course, friendly relaxed atmosphere. Slightly approximate distance markers though!
In full: My first 10k, so difficult to compare but seemed well organised enough, although I agree with other comments about the km markers seeming a little approximate! Otherwise, it was a nice race with quite a mix of runners. The free sports massage was a nice touch, albeit more painful than the actual run! It was also nice getting a text soon after telling me my chip time.

In short: Nice location, great potential, but could be really good.
In full: Chip timing was a great start, riverside run, BBQ, and start/finish and parking all excellent. Having done all that, surely getting the distance markers in the right place, and after every km should not be that hard! Also, some more space at the start would have been better. Regarding the entry fee, this was expensive, but for a good cause. However many may have been put off by the 'desire' to raise £500. This race has the potential to be really good - I hope next year the lessons will be learnt from a very promising start.
