In short: An annual must-do race for me.
In full: Picturesque village, plenty of parking, flat course, lots of support, and good food / visitor options afterwards. Agree with previous review re bottlenecks around the course - starting pens would be a good idea. A great day out for runners and supporters.

In short: Flat and averagely scenic, but not PB material.
In full: Glorious weather and little wind helped make the race as enjoyable as it was. Easy parking, good value goody bag (and very good value 1st M50 prize won by my husband). Traffic free and pancake flat, but not a PB course I don't think because of the number of sharp turns and bends. Could have done with a couple more marshalls for directions, and the prize giving "ceremony" was a bit of a farce. Plenty of restaurant options for lunch right at the finish. Overall, a pleasant, beginner-friendly and stress-free 10K.

In short: Good value and scenic
In full: Thoroughly enjoyable race. About 50/50 roads and canal towpath/woodland trail/fields. Flat and scenic, with friendly encouraging marshals. Bonus of free photos from Bryan Dale. Very warm today, so it was hard work but at least it was dry underfoot. Would be pretty muddy and slippery in wet weather. Will definitely be back next year.

In short: Friendly, well organised, scening and great value.
In full: Hill - what hill? It wasn't pancake flat all the way around, but the long scenic stretches by the mere and along the canal were lovely to run along. I achieved a PB - admittedly only my 4th 10K, but a minute faster than my previous best. And with such a good selection of home made goodies at the end, and a well organised car park and race HQ, it's definitely a race I'll be doing again.
