Couple parts ov course could have had a marshall a few went wrong slightly dog walkers whistling etc then u think u werent going right way I know u can't manage that like but still annoying ! lot ov runners were spread out along narrow paths nearly few times head on collisions !! From on coming traffic when they should have kept more left !!

I thoroughly enjoyed my first Preston 10k. Great atmosphere and camaraderie and very well organised. Most of our local running group Penwortham Panthers ran and everyone said the same. We'll be back next near. Lovely medal and T shirt too. Fabulous day. Thankyou

Great run but a slow start due to awkward steps in the first park entered that reduced early momentum. Will certainly be signing up again.

Thought the course was a bit repetitive and had to stop and walk in some areas going down hills / steps as there was a back log of runners. Not good if you’re trying to reach a personal time goal.

A rather hilly course. My Garmin claimed 268m of Ascent in the 10K ! Was very well organised with sufficient marshals and decent snacks at the end too as well as a Medal and T Shirt.
