Nice run especially for myself who hasn’t ran further than 6km in about 6 years. One hill that you do twice in the 10k distance but the rest is fairly flat. Annoyingly my Apple Watch only recorded 9.46km and it appeared quite a few others never hit the 10k however this may have just been a signalling issue.
Would recommend for anyone starting on their running journey 👌🏻

Cancer Research UK - Race for Life
Race for Life is Cancer Research UK’s biggest series of fundraising events. Taking place across the UK, the events include 3k, 5k and 10k routes as well as our Pretty Muddy obstacle events. Race for Life started 28 years ago as a women-only event. The first event was held in Battersea, in 1994, where 750 participants raised £48,000. Since that point, Race for Life has grown into a series of hundreds of events across the country, raising nearly £900 million towards beating cancer over the last quarter of a century. In 2019, for the first time, the Race for Life opened its doors to men to participate too, making it a truly inclusive event, giving people the chance to come together with their family and friends, and join the movement to help beat cancer.
