2013 Runner's World Trailblazer - Sherwood Forest 10K
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Great organisation and great prizes
In full: This is the second year of running this event which I would do again. It is steep for a 10k but you do get a lot of goodies for it and it has the feel of a big event, the course also measured quite a bit over. The organisation is great, plenty of loo's and great give always, goodie bags and prizes. Lovely location if the weather is good its worth spending the day there.

In short: Pleasant off road race
In full: Well organised, lovely scenery and friendly atmosphere. Undulating but a pretty quick course, no major hills at all.
Still a bit costly for a 10k and everyone I spoke to said their chip timing was wrong by a fair bit including mine.
However I would do the race again.

In short: Flat fast course in a beautiful city with loads of good people to cheer you on
In full: Positives - PB potential the cobbles are no big deal only a few 100 meters, great support all around the course, great medal (if you are into that kind of thing)
Negatives - Many people in the sub 40 section who shouldn't have been slowing fast runners up suggest proof of time to get into this section if they are looking at increasing the entry size next year, parking issues and heavy traffic, late start.
Overall great race and would do it again : )

In short: A great pre London race
In full: One to look at if you have not races Ashby 20, good preparation for London on an undulating course (the hills are not that bad). Great drink stations with sponges, gells, sweats and lovely volunteers who manned them - Thank you. Over all a well organised event.

In short: Great flat course, welcoming to all runners
In full: Positives - Good distance for marathon training, friendly atmosphere, flat and fast (except for the wind), good range of water, sports drinks and gels. Great medal!
Negatives - lack of toilets at the start for such a large attendance, stood around in the pens for a long time before we started. The tickets for the shuttle buses sold out weeks before the event, more need putting on for next year.
Thanks a great day over all
