In short: Tough but good
In full: My first 10 mile race. It was tough was some good hills, but I was pleased with my time and it was a good challenge to get my teeth into!

In short: Friendly and well organised race on undulating roads
In full: Well done to all involved in this. This is my 3rd year of taking part and travelling from Peterborough, and hopefully will not be my last. A really well organised, very well marshalled (with support and smiles !) race, with the benefit of using a college with changing facilities and showers . There's even a small on site bar for that after race beer ! The thermas flask memento was a first..and an original touch. The course is undulating but still manageable and an excellent half marathon training session !

In full: Great undulating course.The hills were just enough to be challenging without being painful, and remember they go down as well as up!Good friendly race with lots of support.

In full: The Orginisation on the day was very poor. And to run out of bananas at the end of the race made it a perfect 2/10. The start of the race was so confussing with limited control.

In short: Challenging course in scenic Leicestershire.
In full: Second year I have done this course and will do it next year. Cheap running stalls at the HQ worth an extra point. Thanks to Milenko (on his first 10 mile race) who pushed be the last few miles, cos that last long hill had wasted me.
