Fast course but the road surface badly potholed!

All the hard work paid off aSmashed my best time by over 3 minuets good event flat route all good

It's not the prettiest course, but its attraction for me is that it passes through my hometown, indeed, right past the house where I was brought up! Car parking was the only issue of the day, we ended up paying 4 at the bingo place, yards from free council parking (which was obviously full)This is a race I've done for a few years and always look out for. Great PB potential, decent public support out on the course, good runers' camaraderie.

Flat road races arent my favourite but Dewsbury gave me an opportunity to produce a PB which is all good. 

Great event and a great PB course. Will definitely be on my list every year!!

Very good event, great PB course. Accurately measured this year too, which is a bonus. I must comment that even though it was long last year the team did apologise thoroughly and I understand mistakes happen, Ive raced before where the lead cyclist took us the wrong way at the front of the pack and a marshal was say in their car so didnt notice the error and therefore me and the other 3 leaders ended up doing 2 miles more. No apologies were made and lets just say this has meant Ill never return there. I returned here because the team were man enough to admit their mistake and apologise. Great location to meet at the sports centre and little things like having personalised numbers sent to all participants is nice. Will be back next year to PB again!

Flat course, great support, wonderful marshalls and great time achieved.

Great route, nice and flat for those of us who prefer road running to trail. Good PB course too. Great marshalling, we really do appreciate them! Looking forward to next year.

The 1st 5k is the hardest as it's a gradual climb most of the way. However, it's downhill all the way back so a good course for a PB! 

Really well organized - fantastic route for a PB. Excellent Marshalls and the best t shirt I have ever had from a race - can't wait for next year 

It was a fantastic race with a quality field were you get sucked in by other great runners...definitely doing it again..marks..460/500

Great race and nice that it was the correct distance this year. Not the most interesting of courses but the profile and straight roads present an excellent PB opportunity . Roads could do with some tlc, however, as there were many potholes en route. The finishers t-shirt also had an amusing phallic design too.

great experience, really friendly. Was really pleased to see how much I'd improved on last year's time as well!

Perfect early season race, flat and good course for a 10k PB. All aspects ran smoothly from registration to results. 

As ever, very well organised and efficient and an excellent PB course - Finally lowered my time to sub 35 which has been a goal for many years

1st time doing this race. Fast & fairly flat so ideal PB course. Knocked nearly 2 mins off my last 10k time. Well organised & marshalled with lots of support. Would defo recommend & will possibly be back next year! The design of the t-shirt was questionable & certainly gave us all a giggle! 

This was my first Dewsbury 10k run, the organisation and marshalling was amazing, personally I prefer a medal over a t-shirt, the route was very easy to follow and not too difficult, overall a really great race. 

Great run, well organised and marshalled. A lot of pot holes in the road which you had to be wary of and a very questionable finishers tshirt. I think more opinions need to be taken for the tshirt next year! Other than that it was great, definitely do it again!

I love this run, it's the third time I've done it and us an excellent pb run. Marshalls are always brilliant and the support at the finish line is amazing! Thank you Dewsbury road runners 

Was ok - out and  back race with boring route

This was me 2nd year running Dewsbury,its one of my favourites as its mainly flat and a good one for a pb,loads of atmosphere at the start/finish and Ive always really enjoyed it.

Really well organised race on a fast and enjoyable course. The weather was perfect too. Many thanx to all the organisers and volunteers 

I was dubious about this race. All the stories I had heard were about how fast a course it was and great for a PB. I am not fast but was looking for a race early in the year to kickstart my running again. I am so glad I ignored my doubts and did this. The course is great, organisation great and as a slower 10k jogger I did not feel unwelcome or out of place at all. I hope to be back next year.

From a Dewsbury road runners prospective I love this race its held by my club the atmosphere is amazing for me spurring me on ! Its flat and fast so its the perfect course to nail a personal best time this should be a target race for many to come to for that reason weather is just nice and cool perfect conditions too ! The event has a real friendly atmosphere runners from all over organisation is great and runs very smoothly! Roads are closed too so no dodging traffic! Its a run of all abilities so come along and test yourself this is pb tastic 

Not the most scenic course, but good to run, very quick, very well organised and most enjoyable event.

A great race, love the out and back aspect, lots of encouragement from the marshalls and a downhill finish. Plus notoriety from the t-shirt!

Great PB course, slight inclination be on the way out which meant a lovely decline back at half way point. Good atmosphere at the start and finish but very little en route. Well marshalled course. Pretty much all out close b runners got a PB!

Well organised, great Marshalls. Road surface was dodgy but that cant be helped. Tshirts were a bit weird 

This was my first proper race years ago. Just gets better and better. Brilliant support from Marshalls and spectators all round the course. Great PB course. Do good Wakey Tri (My club) added it to the winter race series this year. Already looking forward to next year. 

Well organised. Good quality numbers with timing chip. 1k markers. Plenty of Marshalls and road closures. Lots of little things done well made a great event. The t-shirts are a great talking point! 

Well established and well organised event. Fast course, not scenic though. PB potential

It was a nice easy course and being flattish it was good to be able to push myself for a good time. Marshalls were friendly and encouraging and the race set off bang on time, which I appreciated given how cold it was. There was someone standing at the 500m to go marker who shouted out the gun time, I don't know whether he was part of the running club or a random spectator but whoever he was he really helped to spur me on the last little bit to come in just under the time I wanted. A big thank you to whoever he was. I prefer off-road events to road races so whilst I have selected the 'nah, doubt it option' to do the race again, I may decide that it would like to better my time when I am fitter in future. I would also perhaps suggest avoiding the same t-shirt design in future!

This was my second year participating in this event. Its is well organised from a registration perspective, the event number arrives in the post, turn up and run, no fuss on hassle. The route is easygoing with a very slight up hill finish. The event only has one water point, which is about 6k in, which could be an issue for some runners. For me the time of year is perfect as I dehydrate quickly whilst running and early February makes me train for the event in December and January. One thing I would change/recommend would be some toilet facilities at the start/finish line, as personally, I usually need a nervous wee before the start. Aside from that one improvement, the event is fantastic and I will be participating again in 2019.  

Great race! Nice and flat. Fast finish. Would love more crowd support but the people who were lining the course were loud enough! Will be back next year.

First time running this course and told it was one for a pb, which it was and I did. I'll apply again next year. It wasnt over crowded, which is great, and it compares with other events of similar size as far as organisation goes. Shame about the comments that the tee shirt design attracted but surprised whoever designed and approved it didn't realise. Sadly I won't wear it, and I do like to show off where I've been running.The only other shame is that there's no medal but it's not something that would stop me running again. Enjoyed the day. Facilities were good and great atmosphere. Thank you

Great race on a perfect day. Well marshalled and even a t shirt at the end!!

I paced a newer runner but cant wait to race it myselg. Has PB written all over it.  

Great race, well organised and corse is good for a PB. Also my friends first 10k. Few things I didnt get though; the race was booked up very early this year and a lot of my club, work colleagues and arch rivals missed out. I heard then there were more tickets were released on the race day? Is this true? And if so why? 2: Are there any photos available from the race? Cant see anything on the internet. 3: why are there no social media pages for the race? I see this as a strong lack of communication. Finally who designed the t-shirt absolutely love it. Great marketing! 

This is a good flat course so great for attempting a faster time. Everything seemed well organised, and its great to have a sports centre as a base - just remember a padlock so you can use the lockers for you stuff during the race. There arent really many toilets at the sports centre, but Ive never been to a race where this isnt an issue! Its a smaller race than others I have run, which isnt a bad thing, but probably more regular runners rather than fun runners taking part as a result.

Just doo it... fab course... slightly uphill on the way out... give it all you have got cos coming back is all downhill.

I enjoyed the atmosphere and the support along the route it was well organised throughout..love the shirt

This is my third time doing the Dewsbury 10k and it's one I keep coming back to, for the genuine PB opportunity!  The course itself is perhaps what some might call uninspiring, but at the end of the day we are here to smash out our best time, not look at the sights.  It is well organised and seems to run very smoothly.  No issues this year with the course distance, although that finish line definitely seems further away than the 100m sprayed on the floor!  It is popular with club runners and so to anybody unattached, it could be seen as a little cliquey but the atmosphere is generally good and lot's of shouts from the marshals out on the course.  I will be back to challenge myself again next year.  

A great race, marshalled and organised very well. Well done Dewsbury, I will be there next year. 

A good 10k with pb potential. What more does a runner need? 

Really enjoyed my race, got a new PB for my troubles! Well organised and surprisingly well-supported for a cold, grey day in February

Its was great, its hard to find a 10k pb course with lots of room, keep the limit to 1500 please.

Enjoyed the course, very flat so you will have a great chance of a PB. Well organised event with the only downfall being no medal and the t-shirt was very poor.

Good fast course and well organised. Out and back course, slightly up hill on way out. Then down hill on way back perfect for a negative split. 

First mile was awesome, then.... wallop! Where did my energy go? Suddenly from running like the wind to forcing my body!  Still put in a personal best but disappointed in myself. Still coming back next year though!

Great event, first time at Dewsbury, but will be backLove the TSHIRTS 

First time running it and although not a massive event a good turn out with good organisation . Not many spectators but the Marshalls were absolutely brilliant . Full of support 

Easy to park within 5 mins of start line. Plenty free parking.  Good HQ at the Leisure Centre just 10 min from start and plenty loos.  A fast flat chip timed course out and back and SLIGHT undulation to halfway and downhill back.  Well supported and lots support.  Got a PB to boot, as did plenty of my team mates. Its one for our club Grand Prix again 2019.  And I loved the teeshirt despite the laughs it received on local media.  A recommended race for sure!

It's the first time that I have run this event, it is very well organised and a great atmoshere with people from all walks of life. I dont really like flat runs but I will be running this event next year

This was the first time I ran this 10k and thought it was a great race . Marshalling and organisation spot on and thanks to the 45 minute pacer who helped me knock a minute off last  years 10 k time .No it isnt the prettiest of course but in minus 3 degrees who cares?? Go for it if you want to smash out a fast time .

Thiscwas my first race at any distence i found the whole experience  very rewarding well organised event from start to finish

This was my first 10k race so it was a bit daunting but I needn't have worried. The event was well organised and marshalled with lockers, toilets and showers at Dewsbury Sports Centre. There was a really good atmosphere at the start line and people were chatty whether I knew them or not. The course was pretty flat with just a gentle rise up to the half-way turn then it was downhill so it was ideal for my first 10k.. The water station just after half way was appreciated. Encouragement came from the marshals, the Police and members of the public which all helped. A great day which I really enjoyed and I will do it again next year.

Its the second time I have ran this race and it was also my first race after breaking a metatarsal bone in my foot. I loved it last year and also again this year even though  I didnt beat my time. However I have to say I was really disappointed to be told you had no XS T-shirts left even though I finished in under 44 mins. I was more upset as I am only 5 foot so even the small drowns me. But on a plus note I hope we include the race again in next years club races. Janet 

Very well organised.The course is a little boring due to it being an out and back route.It seems very flat even though it has 200 feet of elavation due to the incline in the first 5k being so gradual you dont really notice it.So you should be in with a shout of a PB.Free bottle of water at the finish and also a very good quality t-shirt.I will be back next year.

Dewsbury 10k is always a fast race with quite a few PBs.  It was well organised and attracts lots of different running clubs and more casual runners alike with lots of good Camaraderie before during and after the event.  Ran it the last 4 years and will be back in 2019.  Love the t-shirt!!!

Superb event, fast PB potential course, very very gradual out, quick back

First time doing the Dewsbury 10k and it was a really good experience and I will be signing up again next year! 

I know the area and I had seen the course and although not table-flat it is a nice challenge with a slight incline on the way up and a slight decline on the way back. Excellent organisation, really well organised, loads of marshalls heading off roads. And that TShirt is now my most prized in my collection!!

Great experience and Ienjoyed it very much

Ok... Let's get the obvious out of the way.... It ain't a pretty route! There I said it!!  The race is an "out and back" course. The first three miles there is a gentle incline to the turn. Then (obviously) downhill to the finish. What is good about this though is that you get to see the front runners! It's the only time I get anywhere near them!!In terms of organisation everything was very slick. Numbers were sent out in advance, so essentially all you have to do on the day is get to the start line. Results were super quick!!! I hadn't even got back to the car and I had a text with my time! The event was very well marshalled, with lots of support on route. The t-shirt is quality material (funny design! ). I very much enjoyed the race. A little gripe is the "no number transfer" policy. This was very clearly stated on entry, but how this was employed was incredibly varied. I heard stories of where number transfers were done quickly, other people had no response to multiple emails. And whilst all this was going on there was number transfers happening on Facebook pages. I do understand the reasons of a no transfer policy. Whether you like the number transfer policy or not that's your individual decision... What is difficult to accept is the variation in how people were dealt with. Unfortunately this is why I can only give 3 stars.This race was in our Club championship this year... So many people got PBs! I will gladly recommend it to others as I had a great day, but the number transfer issue has left some members questioning whether this should be included again next year.

This is always a very enthusiastically anticipated event in Yorkshire as it is in the Spring marathon build up and is a great opportunity to test fitness and perhaps even get a PB.  The course slowly climbs to the halfway point, if you put in the effort you're rewarded with 3 miles back downhill to the finish.  The field is always strong again adding top the PB potential.Areas that could be improved would be portaloos and perhaps a running shop

Perfect for a 10k pb. Well organised. No toilet queues! Not scenic but that doesnt really matter. Had to pay 4 to park but dont think organisers could do anything about that. Will do again. 

Great organisation and motivating Marshalls as always at the start and on course really appreciated the count down metres at the end Happy with time and quickly received through text and full results availability . Course found numerous potholes in some ways a distraction but also a hazard although I believe area is to be resurfaced ?  Possibles would like to have staggered start based on times and course initially is narrow teeshirt colour and quality great design well enough has been mentioned already  

Good race. The course is very flat and it's not crowded at all so plenty of space to run at your own pace.

well organised fast 10k race which i have done every year since 2008

Excellent pb potential, good last 5k to push on with a negative split. Enjoyed running past the choir which was new this year.
