In short: NIce Short Race
In full: Nice sunny day but strong icy winds to fight against. Fairly flat course and nice amount of people so you dont get caught up in crowds. Worth giving a go.

In short: Good friendly run with a killer hill at the end!
In full: Well organised run, actually ran more than 10k but its hard to mark out on beach as you move to avoid water, rocks, etc. Nice Filey 10k woolly hat at the end, nice change. Great scenery even with the rain!

In short: Great race, great organisation, great price!
In full: 3rd year I have done this and once again Evenful have excelled themselves for the low cost. This is my home town although I now live in Newcastle but travel each year to run. Low price and excellent organisation and scenery. New change to the course was beter even with long uphill. Cannot praise this race enough. Makes me proud to be a Dundonian.

In short: GREAT RACE AT A GREAT VENUE.
In full: Well organised race in a great location, the back 5k with the castle in the distance is spectacular, especially with the sunny weather we had. Only downside was the 9:30 start, but meant more time on the beach for my family afterwards.

In short: Well organised challenging run!
In full: A glorious sunny day showed off the Perthshire countryside beautifully. A very scenic course with the friendliest Marshalls I have ever seen. Hard course but not as bad as I thought it would be. Fantastic spread of food at the end. Have nothing bad to say about this at all. Perfect race.

In short: Challenging scenic race.
In full: Started off misty but the sun soon burned that away for a glorious sunny day with a nice cool breeze. Ideal running conditions. The good weather also leant itself to the gorgeous scenery on route. The race itself was undulating with small hills coming thick and fast. Being on Roman roads they are very straight and you can see the hills going all the way up! The hill on mile 12 is a bit of a killer but downhill after that. I was only seconds off my PB but think that was down to upping my training more than the route. A great day in great surroundings and Wallington Hall is great for family/friends waiting for you to finish with plenty to do and see. Oh and the t-shirt was very nice too! A great day out!

In short: Hard & Hilly
In full: Not one to hit a PB. Starts off on a long hill and carries on that way. Great scenery, well organised and good support for a 10k. A great challenge worth doing!

In short: ENJOYABLE RACE WOULD DO AGAIN
In full: Hurt my knee night before and thought I may have to pull out. Glad I didnt! Great atmosphere, nice scenery, not too crowded on the roads, a few hills but not too bad, Good weather. Well organised and marshalled. All in all a very pleasant run (and my knee held out!).
