In short: First time for this one, will be back for the challenge again!
In full: Had planned to do Newark half but online entries said 'full' so I opted for this. What a nice surprise! Glad I did it, it was tough in parts and made me work hard. So no regrets about not doing the half, I'll be back for this one. I was delighted with my time given a couple of long and tough climbs, great preparation for Chesterfield Spire 10!!!

In short: hot and hilly but got a PB
In full: second time doing this one and the hills were just as tough the second time around. hard working people at the water stops made sure we did not suffer in the sun.
an enjoyable Sunday morning, thankyou

In short: Nice route, tough in the sun!
In full: Very well organised, marshalled and water stations. Undulating but not impossible though the heat made it hard work. T-shirt at the finish. would recommend

In short: An enjoyable 10 miler
In full: I have run this race before, but cannot remember the hills. It is a good challenge of a course, if you want a flat race this is not for you. Set in really nice countryside, might need to look at the last part of the race around the cricket ground. Good T-shirt well worth entering.

In short: Better than expected
In full: I thought Doncaster would be all "industralised". FAR from it, scenic run through some pretty villages. Very well organised. Only 2 small gripes, having to avoid runners(who have already finished) coming back at you as you try and keep up your pace is more than annoying. Secondly the last tiny bit running on uneven grass after 9.75miles of road seemed a bit bizarre!
Overall though very enjoyable!!
