WildeRover The location of the race at Atlantic College/St Donat's Castle is stunning.  Always an 'interesting' field of competitors as it includes a whole bunch of the college students who know nothing about racing, 10k, or even running.  It's fun, but nifty dodging in the first half mile is essential.  Although many will find the course a bit hilly, personally I find the gentle uphill to 3 miles while I am fresh, followed by the most downhill in the troublesome 5th mile works out nicely for me.  Definitely some of the most enthusiastic marshals you will ever see at a race.

spanky the wonder monkey 2nd time i've run this race. used it as Fan Dance prep, so was running with a 23kg bergen on my back. this meant my time was about 20 mins outside of a 'normal' 10k, placing me amongst the back markers. despite this, the marshals were superb with enthusiasm you just don't get anywhere else....hearing the Rocky tune being sung at around 8k's was great!
race held on open roads - iirc last year the police did close a few roads off - with a water stop at about 5.5k. markers every km along the undulating course. we were blessed with nice sunny weather which showed the vale of glamorgan countryside off nicely!
event tech t-shirt and water bottle for sale at £2 and £1 (included in goody bag in '13).
race went like clockwork and results were on-line within an hour of last finisher crossing the line.

great race, with great marshals in a great location. one not to be missed.
