Ive done this a few times now with similar results - cheap no nonsense 10k.

numbers are collected from event HQ which is 10min walk to start. 

Course is all road and flat - couple of quick laps then remaining 3 miles is long roads. 

Water station at half way point giving cups of water. 

Roads closed - support is ok and good little finish  area. 

No goody bag but decent technical t shirt. 

For £12 you cannot go wrong. 

Nice little NYD 10k and will certainly do again and again

This race is great fun.

The atmosphere in the morning is great, with a mixture of people still feeling the effects of the night before, you can actually smell booze on the start line.

Anyway its a very small race, very flat and great support. No car parking so you will have to pay for parking, water stations are ok (if they are not stolen like 2015). Its flat, marshalled well and great support from spectators. The route is through housing estates so dont get to excited and the finish line is just off main road - so again dont get to excited.

Its a great way to start NYD and you can race and be back in the pub for 11.30am.

Great value for money and always a great t-shirt.

I'll be back for more in 2018.

This is a great little 10k.

1st thing on NYD so you can smell the booze in the air still - its great.

Only a small field so nice and local as well.

Collection of number from the local rubgy club takes place, its pretty steady and well organised due to small field.

The coruse is flat, very flat so easy PB course, good marshall and crowd support and the finish line is down a slight hill so nice speedy finish.

This year the drinks were stolen from drinks stations, however people rallied round to get new supplies.

Nice t-shirt when you finish so really good race and value for money is great at only £14 I think.

Certainly back but it fills up fast
