2013 Hull 10K
 | | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: I appreciate that the shortening of the course was not the organisersfault, but it left me with a sour feeling.
In full: Other factors detracted from the experience too.Way too many slow runners at the front.Think all the corporate challege runners started from the front.What is the point of having pens if this is allowed?Spent the first 10 mins getting very frustrated trying to get past.
Support from the crowds seemed very flat.
A pity about having to shorten the course as it would otherwise been PB potential, even allowing for the above moans.
There is better races out there , can't see me being back next year.

In full: Well organised, the park and ride seemed to work well.Excellent value for money.

2012 Spires & Steeples Challenge 26

In short: Very enjoyable race but not easy,great value and lovely scenery.
In full: Did the full 26 miles from Lincoln to Sleaford.Really enjoyable but its made me ache in a few places!A few difficult bits under foot and styles/railway lines /foot bridges to deal with.Great value for a 26 mile race and thought the technical t-shirt and medal were good prizes.Generally really well organised apart from one place where I took a wrong turn,and I was't the only one.Even when I found the right turn it wasn't obvious.Probably needed a marshal here.
