In short: It's a fun run
In full: Surely if it's advertised in Runners World as a 10k it ought to be 10k and it ought to be suited to runners. Ok it's a charity event, I like 4 laps, who needs mementoes? But the course ought to be properly measured (the distance round the football field was what you made it), the finish times ought to be taken seriously, the km markers ought to bear some relation to reality,and that car right across the path next to the road, with the toddlers playing on the path by the burger bar ought to have been attended to. Call it a fun run and people who see it RW and come some distance won't be disappointed. But a 10k, no way

In short: Challenging quiet & scenic
In full: I thought change of route reduced the hill a little! Large numbers meant very squashed start - crowds and bollards made it more difficult. I was a little thrown by the zigzag finish. But great fun

In short: great varied course & smooth organisation
In full: One hairy crossing of fairly busy road without active marshall - was it about half way? Otherwise a pleasure to run.
