In short: Loved my first 10k race!
In full: This was my first 10km race and I loved it. I live around the area anyway so running through the lanes where i used to horse ride made it all the better. The first 6k was a bit of a struggle, but when you get to the pub at the top of the hill at around 6.5k (which was very tempting not to stop for a pint) it was pretty much downhill. The parking and road closures were well organised and there was a mix of supporters on the way round - including some people standing at the bottom of their drives with water for us and others just watching. There was also a nice run of supporters on the way to the finish line. The only thing I would comment on is that there should have been marshalls giving out water at the end as well as soon as you cross the line as it wasn't all that obvious where the water station was at the end.
Overall loved it and can't wait to do it again next year.
