I enjoyed it very much. I also managed to do a PB for a 10km. Maybe you can try to have a course with no U turns as these slow you. Otherwise thumbs up for everything.

Running 4 laps for a 10k was challenging!

4 laps for a 10k is not ideal, but the marshals were super motivating and the whole event was very well organised. Bog shout out to the ladies from the local rugby club for a fabulous warm up.

Could the laps be made longer as 4 laps to do a 10k seemed a bit much
