In short: Met Steve Cram, ran three loops, got a bottle of beer and medal and enjoyed being in Southwold. Thumbs up for a Sunday morning run!

In short: A great race, around the very scenic Southwold. A couple of minor undulations, but otherwise flat- the start was very narrow so if you're looking for a fast time, you need to be at the front - I'll do this run again - great fun - and a bottle of beer

In short: A great little 10k run with a reasonable PB opportunity
In full: Having ran this last year I was keen to see that the concerns raised last year had been addressed and I wasn't disappointed!
A much more organised affair this year.
Moving the start really helped so that everybody wasn't bunched up by the pub.
The traffic from last year was non-existant, although there was one car on the course which probably parked in the harbour early and wanted to get out. Thankfully they drove with patience.
A great goodie bag this year with not only a medal and a bottle of Adnams, but some crisps, banana, water, bar-runner, coaster and Percy Pigs!
Steve Cram came this year so it was good to run against an Olympian! A great chap who had plenty of time for everyone.
As I mentioned last year, this can only get better as the years go by, and I suspect it won't be long before 1000 or more people will be running round.
Well done to everyone at Adnams for their hard work.
See you next year!

In short: I really enjoyed this race and will definately be back next year.
In full: I really enjoyed this race and will definately be back next year. I was concerned that the weather and the journey up may make this a depressing race but it was the total opposite, a cold but bright autumn morning in beautiful Southwold. The local brewery Adnams certainly came out in force to make this a big local event and deserve a great deal of credit.
It was a nice touch having Steve Cram running, I never thought I run a race with the great man!
£15 is a little on the expensive side for a 10k but it was clearly a big fundraiser for Adnams so I am not complaining.
