    Enjoyable 10k. The only downside being a two lap course but that's the nature of the setting. Though being two laps enabled a 5km split on the chip which is good. Big puddles too and sloppy in places but not a lot you can do about that.

    Great friendly atmosphere, felt like a proper local, community event. Loved the 'shout-outs' from the announcer at the halfway stage and finishing line, using our race numbers to give personalised 'shout-outs'.

    I'm still a relatively new runner and older than most but was made to feel really part of the run series. The only reason I gave the course an OK was the huge lakes on part of the course! The organisation is tip top, i've never had to wait for a bar code and getting the time immediately is a nice bonus.

    A great series of races, particularly enjoyed the banana at the finish line and the supportive atmosphere. A lovely location, not just on roads. The marshalls really helped me get round the course with their positive encouragement.

    I'm just getting back into running after a 3 year gap and this was a fantastic "easer in". it is brilliantly organised with a really friendly atmosphere. I'll definitely be booking for next year.
