← RunThrough Aintree 5k, 10k & Half Marathon - February

Decided to enter the 10K race and the registration was straight forward enough, number and chip came in the post, no hassles. On the day everything was organised well, there was a warm up before each race, the half marathoners went first, then the 5K'ers and then the 10K'ers last. each 5k consisted of a lap of the course and you briefly go out onto a side road before coming back onto the course. Having signed up for the 10K I had to complete 2 laps with there being a water station waiting after each lap. The course itself is mostly flat but there wasn't many people encouraging you along, just a few friends and family at the finish line, although having the two singers part way through the course helped with morale. Once finished, you collect your medal, water, banana, small pack of Haribo and a Peanut Butter Slug. I enjoyed this race and I will be back to run it again.
