In short: Rather underwhelming
In full: I think they try to make this race a bigger event than what it actually is. Good motivational atmosphere at the start, but from then on, all a bit flat apart from the brill band half way round. Not as flat as it's made out to be, but the steepest climb is soon over with while you are still fresh. Not the cheapest 10k but goes to a good cause so no worries. Guess I'll be back, when the sun came out it lifted the spirit, but 9am in the fog was not a good scene for me.

In short: Good local run- the sunshine was a bonus
In full: Low key and unpretentious- just a good local run round quiet lanes with a good range of challenges and abilities. Good for the soul.

In short: Very enjoyable
In full: Great starter marshall and rest of team, very supportive. Brill organisation, pleasant weather and decent T shirt- a great morning out-(shame about my time but something to build on now for the rest of the year)

In short: Well done considering the number of runners
In full: Ran like the wind- (by my standards) but 3 mins down on last year. Don't know why, but enjoyable and good vibe all round. For a good cause too!

In short: An underwhelming race
In full: Just seemed to lack any atmosphere at all, especially at the end. Some supportive marshalls round the course however.

In short: All for a good cause and a nice morning out- its not an easy run though!
In full: Struggling back from injury so found it harder this year. Good to support a local cause and the sunshine helped lift the spirits. Maybe time to change the T shirts next year?
