3rd crack at this race and the hottest yet! Number collection on the day was quick and easy; the three different distances go off a few minutes apart. There's a good atmosphere in the race village, complete with music and warm up.
The 10k started before we'd all finished lining up, and there was no horn or signal to let runners not at the front know it had started (or not one that we could hear!). The route is a nice mix of a bit of road, trail and fields, with plenty of marshalls.
There was some confusion just before the finish as there is a gateway into the finish field just before the one runners are supposed to turn into. It wasn't very clearly marked, and could have done with a Marshall here. There was also an issue with a car parking just over the turn to the finish which the marshalls didnt do anything about, and spectators had to shout to runners who were going wrong - please be vocal, marshalls!
Medal for all finishers - plain and simple, momento for day. Pretty route and more challenging than many 10k races. Coffee and cakes available for all. Plenty of water which was much needed!
See you next year!
