I did this run on 21 July so it was a warm day. I found it tough but I find 10ks tough in general. It was a largely flat course. The volunteers are a lovely friendly bunch which is always nice as they cheer you around the course. I particularly enjoyed the coffee van which was parked there as I made the purpose of my run to get a lotus biscoff brownie and nice caramel latte as a reward for my efforts. I came last out of 52 people of which I am immensely proud of. My hardest 10k but also a good day out. I got a lovely medal to add to my collection too. Will do again and would recommend it.
