In short: Excellent race, wind was ridiculous
In full: Good friendly race. Course was flat and scenic. The wind was crazy and made the race challenging in places. Definate PB potential in the right conditions.

In short: Cracking day for it!
In full: Nice little race, well organised, nice and flat. The multiple laps would be my only minor gripe but enjoyed the day. Should have come away with a PB but somehow I didn't, 14 sec down. Will do again next year

In short: Good race but chaotic start
In full: I actually enjoyed this race but the start was dreadful. As usual people totally overestimating their finish time and holding up faster runners. Spent the 1st mile and a half dodging slower runners which cost time. Decent flat route and good support pretty much all the way round

In short: Not a bad race, killer hill at the end though
In full: Good little race down the sea front, pretty windy on the way out which made it harder. The hill right near the end was horrible and a real leg killer.

In short: Very enjoyable run in the countryside
In full: Excellent race, well organised and beautiful scenery. One down side (not organisers fault) was the lack of water in the showers, no water pressure at all which was disappointing after a muddy race

In short: Fast and flat
In full: Really enjoyed this race. The course was fast and flat with definate PB potential (I took 10 secs off mine.) Marshalls were pretty good, some better than others but mostly encouraging and friendly. Nearly got taken out by a dog on the 1st lap and had to hurdle it, the owner was oblivious but not a problem. Nice goody bag at the end. Will be back next year.

In full: First time running the Petts Wood 10k and was impressed. Good organisation, well marshalled. Course was good fun and was challanging in parts. Well done Petts Wood!

In short: Harder than expected
In full: Very well organised race especially as it was a first time for the event. Course was very challenging, harder than I was expecting and isn't really a PB course in my opinion but a nice one all the same. Nice medal but goody bag was a bit of a let down. Well done to the organisers though.

In full: Nice , flat race. Friendly atmosphere and lovely setting in Victoria Park. My one moan and its a very small one was the start was a bit chaotic, the faster runners at the front were in with the slower runners when it should have been done it sections according to your expected finishing time, its not even really a moan just an observation.
