In short: Fantastic race.. made me remember why I like running so much..
In full: First time to the island, and will be recommending this to all the runners I know. Superb small event, with a friendly atmosphere and a bar with free food at the end (oh, and a bus to take you back to Douglas)... who could ask for more.... oh and a cheer as you entered the football stadium.

Well done IOM vets.

In short: Top race...
In full: A bargain race with a t shirt, medal, powerade drink, lots of water, championchip timing...free trains.. all for under a tenner... compared to some races I have done recently like the Stratford Marathon which I know is a lot longer (but 2 laps) and was twenty odd quid with no t-shirt - no energy drinks (even for a marathon)...
Ricky Tomlinson IS a legend....
Well done Liverpool - just a shame more scousers couldn't be bothered to get out of bed and cheer us on...(bit lonely)..

In short: love this race!!!
In full: Really appreciate the support. Good field, bit worried about a few I saw collapsed... think the heat in the latter stages got to a few. Some people went off too fast I think.
Really great support from crowds.. gave me a real buzz.... will be back next year. Thanks to all the great marshalls, you were great!

In short: nice race - good course and nice sized crowd
In full: Good start - dull second lap with little support - excellent marshalls - good organisation - expensive race for just a medal - quite liked the greenway on second lap but no support at all and had to dodge too many cyclists (could it be kept closed just for one day!?)

In short: Much liked local race...
In full: Really like this race. Fast, flat and with a decent enough atmosphere. Nice t-shirts, good price and close to where I live. Who could ask for anything more?

In short: good flat pb course... only one small incline...
In full: Nice sunday morning run, not too busy and quite flat make for good times. Not constantly tripping over other people. Good organisation, lacking an atmosphere around the course, but a good run out.

In short: Fast, well organised, popular race....
In full: Really fast 5 mile course around Alsager. Quiet roads, good field and slick organisation, along with a good t-shirt. Just gun the first 3 miles and hang on for a pb!...

In short: Excellent 10k, good pb potential
In full: Great bunch of people, very friendly. For a first time race the organisation would put some city races to shame. Loads of marshalls. Nice route, some off road, rest on country lanes. Mostly flat (very slight undulations). So impressed considering joining the club as a 2nd claim member.
Well done folks.

In short: A real challenge... but makes it all the more rewarding!
In full: Not for people who like the flat. Long drag for first half, then downhill, and a last mile up hill drag.
Makes my legs ache thinking about it..
Great value, great rucksack as momento.. will do it again next year...

In short: Well organised - friendly 10k - highly recommended.
In full: Well... it was HOT but we would complain if it was raining!...
Nice route on the whole - good mix of runners... good water stations - efficient marshalls and really good t-shirts.
Will make it a regular!
