If there is any chance you could make it a 5k 2-lapper that would improve it all the more. Great event.

A little deflating being passed by the elite runners twice ! Because of 4 times round the same course. But otherwise all brilliant and the volunteers and planning and organisation was superb

The only less good part was doing the same lap 4 days for the 10k and so being passed by all the elite runners twice which was a little deflating
