In short: Enjoyable, scenic, up hill 2-5mils then great cruise down until last 1/2 mile stinker of a hill
In full: Always enjoy this - one of the first good races of the year. Scenic course and I really like courses that get the tougher bit out of the way in the first half so that you can really enjoy the rest of the race, largely down hill on gentle smooth slopes that you can really take advantage of it. The sting in the tail is the last half mile steep uphill to the finish,but at least it means you have a sense of an achievement - and I did a PB this year so cant be that bad! Friendly race of all abilities.

In short: A great start to the year
In full: What a way to start 2010. A tough course especially the first 5 miles and the hill at the end, blessed with good weather and well organised. This was my first Ferriby 10 and will be on my running calendar in 2011.

In short: Enjoyed the race. Set off steady, with hindsight could have set off a bit harder as the 5 to 8 mile stretch was fast and downhill. Read what people said about the hill finish so saved a bit... not sure I needed to. Very good event.

In short: A credit to City of Hull A.C.
In full: This was the first time I'd done this race even though I live just the other side of the Bridge. I'd just like to echo all the positive comments from previous posters.

In short: A Classic event
In full: Been doing this since the early 80s, COH always serve up a challenging course! Good value, unlike some of the overpriced big city events, will always support this event. Results out very quick.
Minor gripe is the 10 year age groups on results, should really be standardised for stats etc.
See you all next year!!
