In short: A two lap hilly 5 miler
In full: A well organised race that's ok for a mid-week fast one. I wouldn't say that it's PB material though, with the first mile all up hill and the third mile on the second lap really taking it out of you.
Well organised and well marshalled at a nice venue. The only thing I would say that they need to look at is the prizes, only first three male and females and only one Vet prize per every ten years!

In short: Flat 10K through parkland and housing estates.
In full: Flat as a pancake through parkland and housing estates makes this a pretty quick course but with lots of sharp turns doesn't make for a PB time.
Organisation was good but we arrived early and couldn't find the registration! But that's my only grip, so well done Warrington Road Runners on putting on a good event with increased numbers due to the race being included in the Cheshire Road Series Grand Prix.

In short: Great race Telford AC.
In full: Well worth the wait and the travel down from Cheshire. If your after a PB do this one, I got under 36mins for the first time by nearly 30secs. Well organised and a good idea to split the race into two. Thanks to the marshalls and organisers.

In short: Second year of running this race well organised and marshaled with the proceeds going to a worthy cause. And a PB by two minutes to get under the hour mark.
