In short: A god race in parts and a nice medal to top it off!!
In full: Not brilliant organisation wise, with no water staions and an odd start, but a nice medal, venue and awards. Quick 2 lap course, promising for a PB I think. Overall, quite good.

In short: A good route on closed roads.
In full: For a small event this was a well put together run. It was perhaps a shame that the air horn couldn't be heard by the 10k runner from the 5k start line, but at least that meant that the 5k runners had well cleared the road by the time the front runners charged forwards. The closed roads were a pleasant surprise for a race of this size, which is no mean feat by the organisers. Well done! It was however a little remiss to remove the drink station at the half way mark, when there appeared to be plenty of ATC/Scouts to help. I'm sure that the problems with the wind blowing the cups over could have been resolved with man-power. That said, if I'm back in Bath next year, I'll look this race up again.

In short: Enjoyable and friendly.
In full: My home town race - the organisation has definitely got better and the prizes for all categories are amazing! I may be biased, but I love this race. Plenty of water at the finish (inside the Scout Hut, possibly due to the earlier bad weather).

In short: Good Race As Usual Not Very Good Organisation
In full: Good scenic route with a good chance for a PB. Having run this event previously i was disappointed how the organisation had slip. The drinks station was signed but on passing it all you had to welcome you was a empty table. The start was also not good i was near the front of the line up and you could hear the air horn. This was a shame i hope next year its back up to being organised as one would expect for a 10k

In short: Enjoyable run, not too hard and not too easy.
In full: Lots of positives about this 10k run, the only negative is that the half way drink station was not available.
