In short: OK, could be improved
In full: Most expensive 10k race I have seen,
Mile markers on a 10km race? km markers would have been better. Also there was no markers until 2 miles had been completed so difficult to check your pace,
Not the best of atmosphere, compared to other races.

In short: Well organised and marshelled - some great support from the public along the way too.
In full: A well organised, well marshalled, decent event. Does seem pricey though since there are no roads shut and no chip timing.

In short: Enjoyed the race.
In full: As others have mentioned, the start was a bit chaotic, but luckily I was near the front so didn't impact me too much.
Enjoyed the course, although wouldn't describe it as flat. Despite the undulations, I would still bizarrely say it was a fast course.
Managed a 10 sec pb on a dodgy knee, so very happy.
Great finish at the stadium and good bag - tshirt, medal and my favourite... biscuits :)

In short: Good day out.
In full: I agree that the start could have been handled better but that was the ONLY concern about the whole thing. The NB top more than made up for the lack of chip timing. If more people had entered in advance rather than on the day maybe the chip timing would have happened. Overall a good event that I will do again.
