In full: As you entered the school grounds you noticed the huge number of portaloos, you noticed all the friendly smiling helpers, as you entered the building for registration the wonderful smell of bacon rolls hit you ...only £1.00 each. Then the smiling people on the registration desk.

This event has something for everybody, a fun run for the children (the cheering and clapping was so loud...superb), then the 10K, the start of which was followed shortly afterwards by a 5K.

Then the off (10K), superbly marsalled, all smilling, lots of marshalls in yellow tabards clapping and cheering you on.

Fast and flat all the way.

At the end a wonderfully enthusiastic commentator with all names and numbers beside her on an easel so she could encourage you by shouting out your name.

Then a medal, apples, grain bars, a bottle of water, then cups of water if you wanted it.

In short an event which other events would do well to emulate. If you didn't do it this year definitly do it next year!

Finally, I have nothing whatsoever to do with this event, I just like to give praise where it is wholeheartedly deserved.
