In short: An interesting race, v. picturesque
In full: Lovely setting, shame there were nowhere near enough toilets, people were still queuing with 10 minutes before start time and had to use the bushes! The race was interesting, mixed terrain, narrow parts near the start meant some places where it was impossible to get past slower runners. Water station struggled to keep up, but marshals were good and support along the way. Disappointment at no goody bag at the end, just the medal - what is that all about? Also not chip timing. V. local to me so will probably do it again at some point as it's easily accessible and a pleasant Sunday morning run :-)

In short: Great flat course, ideal for beginners and PBs, good organisation, picturesque location
In full: Really enjoyed this, only my second 10k race, and despite the very warm day managed to knock 4.5minutes off PB down to 53minutes. Good flat route, didn't find it boring as it's a lovely setting. The atmosphere at start was good with the race commentator being excellent, free good parking and cafe available for good drinks and food before and after. The only thing I would say compared to other reviewers would be that there was not much supporter atmosphere apart from at start, finish and halfway - due to the layout of the route supporters cannot really get up to other points on the route to cheer and still get back to the finish in time to see you come in (unless they run too!!)Very generous goody bag.
