In short: Perfect hilly challenge to warm up for London. Great organisation & cheerful marshalls.
In full: Delighted to wake up and see no snow or rain. Fantastic goodie bag last year, and the addition of a sports bag this year topped off a great day.

In short: Again fantastic organisation and fantastic crowds along the whole route - the encouragement at mile 25 was the only thing that got me to the finish line.

In short: rubbish organisation (yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) , but awesome crowds
In full: Every year the organisers charge a massive £16 for a 10k , then get it all wrong and this year was no exception !!! The only redeeming feature was the fantastic support all round the course. With the exception of London, Ive never run such a well-supported race - the crowds were awesome.
PLEASE organisers, go visit some of the really great local races that charge much less , but deliver such a smooth experience !

In short: .
In full: Well organised race , and I've never seen such supportive marshalls. Overall a very challenging race, I reckon the hills make it as hard as a flat Marathon. If I could improve it, Id like to see more drinks stations, and maybe an energy-drink station is warranted at this distance. Overall, its a great race early in the year , to gauge how the cold,wet , winter training has worked

In short: The organisation was fantastic, especially the excellent website ! Surprisingly hard race , the inclines plus the rain definitely test you, but the great scenery more than makes up for it. Any idea where to ge the results from ? -

In short: Definitely better this year without the big hill early on , and the crowds were fantastic. Endless loops around the lake in the 2nd half were morale-sapping and the only negative in a great raceh
