A great 10k - admittedly my first - with great volunteers ensuring the day went v smoothly. The weather was perfect, the scenic circular course flat with mostly well marked and even, dry ground. The cheering at the end reinforced the lovely spirit the event had. Not a lot of runners but enough to help keep the pace up. Would go again.
Thanks Thomas, glad you enjoyed the run.
