This was a really fun event with a festival and celebratory feel, communicated well from the pre-race emails and from the moment of arrival - I was surrounded by rainbows and colourful runners and many were running with friends.

It was unfortunately quite a windy day in the park, so there was a fair bit of tree debris blowing around in places. Some of the race village had been adapted as a result, but it was all still well organised.

The medal is themed according to the event and hangs on a beautiful rainbow ribbon.  Prior to the event it was possible to buy discounted food and drink vouchers for the pub at the park, and many had taken up this opportunity (including me!). This was a really fun event and there was music and inspiration speeches from the organisers and the charity.

A fast, flat three lap route around Victoria Park. The pre-race information was spot on, and the race organisers kept everyone up to date with the potential adverse weather conditions (very strong winds). Enough toilets at the start which is always good, and plenty of marshalls on the course. There is also an afterparty at a nearby pub. Decent goody bag, nice medal and a welcoming and friendly atmosphere for runners of all abilities. There is also a kids run before the main event too so very inclusive for families. Definitely one for the calendar in 2020!

This was my second time of running in this event. It can’t be beaten for a great atmosphere and a chance to meet up with friends.

The course is 3 laps of a very flat course, so is suitable for a fast time, if you want one.

Lovely medal and bagels after the event. Lovely to have use of changing room and showers as I travel a fair distance to the event.

if you want a friendly race with a good atmosphere, then this is the event for you! 

I entered this race after rave reviews from a friend. It's a flat 10k in Victoria Park. Three lap course, very inclusive.

I got a little held up on the third lap catching up with people walking three abreast. A dog with another runner also ran across me and nearly ended my race. It was on an extending leash. Luckily I managed to stop without hurting myself. I don't know if dogs are allowed in the race but if they are they should be on short leashes to avoid accidents.

There was one marshal who was particularly encouraging. Would have been good if there was music at the finish.

Best goody bag with a reusable coffee cup, Kind bar and drink. 

3 laps, bagels and a goody bag, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Am a huge fan of the Pride 10K. Victoria Park is my PB course for 10K. I have smashed it 3 times there over the years and I gained yet another PB there in January this year. 

It is dead flat. It is only crowded at the start. If you want a PB and a good laugh, then I recommend the Pride 10K.
