In short: Dreadful Start area fast course
In full: As other reviewers stated the start was shambolic and the course was over on the gps.On the plus side this is a good value race with helpful pleasant mmarshalls and the course itself is pure speed.

In short: Fantastic end of year 10k
In full: The area which the race was run in was really picturesque.The course had a few quite insignificant inclines but mostly long flat and slightly downhill sections.The organization was great and it makes my top 3 10ks of all time for me.

In short: Graet Event maybe not for Club Runners
In full: Really enjoyed my first and probably last GNR.The atmosphere was great as well as the support.The course is harder than advertised with all them inclines.Managed top 100 place which i was pleased with but there are much faster pb courses out there.

In short: A very fast end of year 10 miler
In full: Although the start was a little chaotic.The organizers deserve a lot of credit for putting on a great event and really in my opinion had no option in starting in the back lane as last year the start was on effectively on the main road into Thirsk and we all know how race friendly the Police are(Not)!Good t-shirt as well

In short: Very well organized event
In full: Apart from the afore mentioned wind this race was great value for money,well organized event on a relatatively flat course which would offer pbs or a good first half marathon for first timers.

In short: Very Good August Half
In full: Travelled up from Newcastle and was very pleased with this well organized half marathon and although the weather was drizzly felt right at home.Course was mostly flat with a few climbs but all in all well worth doing.
