2011 Zoo Stampede (Whipsnade Zoo 10K)

In full: Great race - flat course and well organised with precise km markers. 3 laps may not be everyone's cup of tea but when each lap takes you past flamingos and rhinos (plus allow an extra water station) - it works. Chance to make a full day out of it in the zoo afterwards is an added bonus. Weather was good for running - glad it wasn't 'otter'.

In short: Quick, wide paths so little crowding, exciting
In full: Quick course, wide paths so little crowding, exciting scenery, well organised, water stops every 3 km, brilliant goody bag and you can turn this event in to a whole day out. The only downside to this race is that it makes 'run of the mill' 10K races feel comparatively dull. Great race.

2009 Willow Charity 10K "SOLD OUT"

In short: Very good race and location - shame about the weather after about twenty minutes although it was 'refreshing'. Only minor critiscism was the erratic kilometer markers - they didn't seem to be evenly spread.

2009 Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre 10k
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In full: Hard going in the hot temperature but a very pleasant route and well organised event. I seemed to do the first 1 km very quickly and then the second 1 km very slowly so wasn't convinced by km markers (and then hit the hill) which through timing out somewhat but overall good value and location.

In short: Good race, slightly hilly but nothing too daunting. Shame a few more roads in busy places weren't closed but course was well marshalled.
