Did the 10K in 2019
The course was surprisingly challenging, which is good, but still good for beginners, in my opinion. Well organised, even if the finish/start area felt a bit hectic, due to the several races starting and ending simultaneously. Can be improved, but I still recommend it.

Did the 10 miles in 2019
Really enjoyed the Christmas 10 mile. Course was 10 laps of a 1 mile course (with a few ups and downs but mainly flat), not the most scenic route, but good if you want to practice pacing. Marshalls were all friendly and helpful.

Challenging (hilly!) course with lots of loops which made for a really good atmosphere. Loved it! Will come back next year.
