2008 Dumfries Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 40% |
In short: Very well organised event
In full: This was a great effort from Dumfries running club. I must admit I did find it tough - few spectators, artic winds and a small, strung out field but it was well worth doing and the marshalls, police etc were brilliant.

In short: A textbook 10K

2006 Blackpool Beach 10K
| | Overall score | | 20% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 20% | | Value | | 20% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: I missed the Glasgow half for this huge disappointment!
In full: There's nothing more frustrating than being misled, especially when you've travelled 3 hours for the privilidge. I didn't expect Berlin Marathon standards, and the lack of distance markers, stewards, a finishing line and dry land I can forgive but surely the advertised 10k and 'commerative medal isn't too much to ask?

In short: Great organisation, pretty generous course, only complaint the cheap looking medal
