Frobester May 2013 12:16pm, 20 May 2013 22,560 posts	0 Frobester Interesting perceptions Chiefy - I thought the NSPCC one was far more exciting than the Nike one - but admittedly, it IS Milton Keynes, so you're starting from a pretty low threshold...

HermanBloom May 2013 12:19pm, 20 May 2013 3,282 posts	0 HermanBloom I did a Regent's Park 10km once. The issue was it was basically three loops. First time it was fine, second loop mildly interesting, third loop was incredibly dull.

HermanBloom May 2013 12:21pm, 20 May 2013 3,283 posts	0 HermanBloom I am going to be stereotypical and say the thought of one lap around Luton is enough!
sheri3004 May 2013 12:22pm, 20 May 2013 16,573 posts	0 sheri3004 Agree with Ultracat about the Aberdeen 10k being fairly dull. Unfortunately most Aberdeen races (including our beloved parkrun) seem to take place largely along the beach prom (flat and straight, but frequently grey, windy and monotonous). The novelty does start to wear off after a while.
