In short: My first 10k and loved it :-)
In full: I happen to do this on an baking hot day, not a single cloud in the sky but loved it. Nice brease as you crossed the bridge and great views. Well organised and great PB chance if you don't might the slight climb up the bridge. max 500 runners thou there was less than 400 last year. Only small event but well marshalled, great crowd turn out too. I'll be back. PS: I got running socks in my bag and I know others good a running t-shirt so well worth the fee.

In short: A very scenic run over a spectacular bridge with superb goody bag
In full: The Humber bridge 10k was superb, on hot day the breeze made it more comfortable. The west side of the bridge was closed but marshalls and organistaion made it run smoothly. As a steady runner it was nice to see the fast guys looked as sweaty as i felt.
I hurt my knee at 3 and half miles and the marshalls cheered me on to the end.
The goody bag was superb with a tech Tshirt, Glucosamine pack, water bottle and even a pen.
a Great Run and one i'll come back to.

In full: It's not often you get to run over a landmark! good run with friendly atmosphere and marshals. Great value goodie bag and a really good T-shirt with unique design! Great day.

In short: Worth doing
In full: First time for this race and not dissapointed. Easy enough to find (!) and get to, loads of parking well marshalled, smooth organisation, slight uphill start and up on to the bridge, cracking views especially on such a bright sunny day, drop to the other end and back up over the bridge with another drop at the end, well marsalled with enthusiastic volunteers, can't find fault really, what else do you want on a Sunday morning? :-) Well done to the organisers.

In short: Good race, course, organisation, goodies
In full: Despite west footpath on bridge (repair works) being closed which is usually used for return run the reroute was faultlessly organised and there wasn't enough runners in field to make two way traffic on one bridge path an issue. Well marshalled, good weather for spectators (hot for runners) and a nice tech-top + big tub of glucosamine+ tablets made up a great value goodie bag.

In short: i really enjoyed the race, spoilt only by the cars being allowed to leave the parking area whilst the slower runners were coming in right by the side of the cars
