I've ran this race for the last 3 years and it gets better and better. The T-shirts and medals this year were very special and I celebrated with a free prosecco at the after-party. The course is flat and lined up with DJ's and entertainment on the course. See you next year!

Had an injury which meant I had to dial back training. Requested to change from HM to 10K a few weeks in advance. Answer was ‘no’ because they’d already submitted my details to chip company, disappointing but it is what it is. What bugged me is that it was still possible to buy entry to the 10K at that time… Didn’t run it. Just something to be aware of - no defer or change options. Have had better service from other organisers over the years.

Totally loved this, got my best time for a 10k and this was all down to the lovely people who kept me going. One or two stopped with a kind word when I was struggling about halfway. Started too fast and had to fight my way round for the rest. A special thanks to 55min pace setter. He talked to me for the last 2 and a half miles and kept me on track when I told him I had never beaten 55min. The guy was a legend! I will be back.
