In full: Great organisation and easy parking made this a lovely morning out.A fairly challenging course with a mixture of terrain.Supportive marshalls and a lovely finish in the town made for plenty of support.Course long though,my Garmin measured 6.37 miles so not ideal if you're after a pb!!

In short: Lovely friendly race, well organised, interesting course, easy to park with a Town centre start and finish
In full: This was my second Bayer 10km and the organisation, marshaling etc were just as good as last year. I really like the atmosphere in the Town Square where the start/finish is located. Running the last 300m through the shopping area into a waiting crowd in the square gives you a "Big Event" sort of feeling. The event has a nice interesting course although runners should be aware that some of the trails are pretty rough and uneven and could catch out the unwary. It`s very important to start in your correct time zone on this one as there are a lot of areas that are very difficult to pass slower runners. Will definitely be coming back for this one.

In full: An interesting mixture of road, lush grass, gravel, country tracks.....all with the final finish into the Market Place, with a fab atmosphere. My 5th run here and it never disappoints. Cheerfully marshalled, thankyou.

In short: I found this very difficult
In full: I ran much slower than I anticipated, with the grass section at the top of the hill sapping my strength. Due to my struggles I didn't appreciate the race as much as I might which is scenic and well organised also very good value for money. I think PB's will be few and far between here as it is hilly, quite twisty and long(by about 250m or 1min)

In short: Good atmosphere, interesting and varied terrain. Good marshalling
In full: Tweaks to course appear to have made it good abit over 10k but other than that a really enjoyable and well run event. Great finish in the market place.
