Lambton 10K. This was definitely a charity runner's race. Definitely organised by non-runners. 9.5km, so I do not count it as a PB

Here is my contribution:

It was a well-organised race with a fun atmosphere. My guess was that the charity/fun runners outnumbered club runners 2:1. We even had a aerobics-class warm-up at the start!

The course was essentially cross-country with most of it being run on grass. Had I known, I would have worn my mud shoes. There are quite a few undulations & a couple of hills to contend with. Beware & don't charge up the hills like I did, they are bigger than you think! I was slightly disappointed that I only had a brief glimpses of Lambton castle from a distance. I would have liked the course to have gone by much closer to it. It was a well-marshalled race & impossible to get lost.

The finish area had a great atmosphere. Pretty decent goodie bag given the £10 entry. Sweatshop were on giving out free sunglasses. Bacon butties, scones & hot tea on sale helped too! My only gripe was the distance. The course organiser admitted that the course was short. This was due to a last minute change due to rain the day before.

Would I do it again next year? Its not a PB race. But it was a fun morning out. Yes, I would if they could be more accurate with the distance next time.
