Dvorak, you know how much a road runner and dislike hills I am but certainly would recommend Dechmont I loved it. :-)

Well Done Brian.

There seems to be a lot of people who think the Dechmont Law 10k is hilly. It is no more hilly than an average blancmange, and just as much fun. Ok I will shut up about it now. Promise.

Is Dechmont suitable newbies??? My first 10k is the Ignis womens in may and quite fancy doing another pretty soon after that..

Kaiser it absolutely its, its fun and no-one gives a toss if you usain bolt it or trundle along at a dignified leisurely pace (like I did!) everyone got the same cheers and support and it was just a good fun day out. I entered on the day last year because I wanted to get a look at the weather and I got the impression lots of others did too so you can commit at the last minute if you like:)

HI kaiser. Agree with Jacs. It was my first ever 10k last year and I loved it. If you are local I'm surr me and or Jacs could show take you round it if you like. It is a lovely wee route.

Thanks jacs and fraserfish I live in Polmont so not to far over the bathgate hills. I think it sounds good so may give it a wee try as doing the ignis 10k pretty slow with a friend and looking to try and get a good time elsewhere as I hope to do a few 10k's this year to get a really good PB by the end of the year.

I may just go for it and enter as I dont mind the weather. Thanks

Come on, Dvorak, do it - it sounds fab! Or do you want us to spread the news that Dvorak has a problem with the law...? ;-)
