In short: hilly, rainy and not very scenic
In full: however, great organisation (apart from no loos, couple of portaloos at start would have been nice, i ended up having to go off road as many others did). Horrible weather. Used to training on the flat so found the hills a complete killer. Very friendly atmosphere and excellent race pacers and marshalls (so kind of them & all the supporters in this weather!). Great goody bag and medal.

In short: Like the London marathon but smaller & shorter!
In full: Where were the free boost bars?! Damm missed those. Actually thought the complete opposite to some of the other reviewers - I only counted 4 people walking before the half way mark (I started in the middle of the pink pen). Thought it was amazing so few people were walking compared to the Asics London 10km.
Race was fantastic, only extra thing would have been a goody bag at the end and sunshine but you can't have everything! Was lovely that the definite majority were running for charity.

In short: Small but growing race, great volunteers
In full: The volunteers were excellent, really friendly. Registering was as confusing as the weather! Shame not many people actually ran, think there were about 120. Beautiful course. They run up to you at the end with your time on a bit of paper which was a nice touch!

In short: Very enjoyable race
In full: Agree with comments about earlier start time, also no water until about 5km mark and it was a seriously hot day. Also water bottles far too large, so much wastage, cups would have been better. But great atmosphere, not crowded, lovely people, nice medal and for a good cause.
