← Windsor Women's 10k

I was looking forward to this run as I love Windsor. Everything was very easy from the beginning. Free parking in the field next to the race village, loads of toilets, good baggage system and plenty of marshalls giving out information. I even took part in the excellent warm up which was a first for me! The organisation was spot on with runners having a coloured number dependant on the approximate finish time. The start was a slight incline as we set off up the long walk towards the copper horse statue. The rest of the run was reasonably flat taking you through woods but always on a path that was closed to any traffic and passing just a few dog walkers. There were a few water stations en route where you could pick up bottled water. A few supporters along the way who had welcome sweeties, smiles and cheers. The course was clearly marked and I was just looking out for the 8k mark because I knew I could then finish going downhill with the castle in view. It was stunning! I ran at full pelt at this point as it was so beautiful even though the finish went on forever it was worth it as that finish line got closer and closer. Fab medal, and t shirt at the finish with a welcome bottle of water and even more welcome mars bar! Lovely race and I would definitely do it again.
