What can I say about this race….. It's very flat, and you run around the Olympic rowing lake on tarmac paths.  I was running the 10k, but there were other distances to choose from as well, for example, a 5k and Half Marathon. 

The 10k started mid to late morning, and the half started at an earlier scheduled time. Even though the different starting times you were still running at the same time. I found the run boring because it is just laps around a lake - two for 10k and four for the half marathon. 

It might be a good run in winter when the temperature is cooler, but in the summer I didn't like it, there was next to no shade on a hot summers day with the sun beating down on you. There is not really any support on the run as every watches from near the start, one end of the lake near the carpark A few marshals jotted around the course encouraging.  At the end, I received a medal, water and banana.
