In short: Superb
In full: Thanks to the amazing marshals and organisers who turned out in very heavy rain and wind to put on the event for us - they even smiled and cheered as I went past!
A great achievement to get this event running in the conditions - actually running was easy in comparison. A fantastic course (yes, there is a climb, but you should know that before starting). Lots of music, some part way round, and marshals who had been briefed and knew what was going on. Not a PB course, but one of the best events and very well organised. Please do not stop!

In short: How far is 10K? I think this was short
In full: My race did not go well, it is a hilly course - and yet I was fast. Surprisingly fast. So surprisingly fast I do not think it was 10K long.
Would be interested to hear what others thought.
Do PBs and stuff count of the course is the wrong length?

In short: Nice race, well organised, great day out!
In full: friendly marshals, smooth organisation, nice course. I like the multilap feature so there are other runners to see as they lap me / get lapped by me.
Area that could be improved: Paper in loos. Ideally more of them, queues were so long many people gave up on the pre-race briefing.

I like the hat!

In short: Charming race, great change from chacing road PBs
In full: Very friendly, well organised - hilly. I can see why so many people return year after year.
