10k route was lovely 2 laps around the parks, had a close up view of the famous deer, well marshalled and clear signposting. Small field gave it a special community feel 😊!

The start time was too late, given it was a hot day and not enough water stations.

This was my 1st 10k and i was a little disappointed. Toilets were awful ( toilets would not flush) and we had to pay which was not mentioned before hand to the best of my knowledge. Thought the route was okay, I would have preferred a straight 10k run, instead of having to do 2 circuits of the 5k route. Although I was not the fastest nor the last to finish, I thought it lacked atmosphere for the slower runners.
