In short: Perfect for a pb if the weather conditions are right
In full: This is a perfect 'runner's race', well-organised, easy car-parking, fast and flat. The course is very boring, and there are not many spectators (nor much to attract them) but we don't always choose races just for the scenery and this is a good 10k.

In short: Very well organised event and good value for £10.
In full: Some one has complained about not having a chip or lucozade. But what can you expect for £10. The kids also had a great 1 mile fund run to take part in.

In short: Good Race, great atmosphere
In full: Good race, lots of people made a great atmosphere. There were change rooms (just not clearly marked), marshalls great, sponges, a great idea on such a warm day but might have been better earlier or at 2 points. Didnt really know when the race was started - no gun, just an amble off!

In short: if it wasnt a PB course it wouldnt be worth it
In full: very flat, so definitely a PB possibility. the surroundings were pretty dull but you can't really expect more from an airfield i suppose.
for £10 you would expect a bit more: no chip timings and no medal.
