In short: Comfortable, pretty flat race round a park - make sure you start near the front if you expect a fast time!
In full: My first 10k race - although the long queue for the ladies loos meant I started near the back of the pack and spent the whole race wasting energy running around people. The surface is mostly tracks and paths - but they're pretty narrow so if you expect sub 45mins, make sure you start near the front of the group to avoid running most of your race on the grass at the side. The atmosphere was fun - loved the percussion group, the one man band on the really windy stretch and the cheerleaders towards the end! Given this race is getting pretty popular, I'd suggest trying to group starters by expected finish time at the start if possible.
