Yesterday I ran the Adam Cole Foundation 10K in Greenwich Park.
It was friendly, well marshalled race in a great location. There was plenty of parking (though not free) available nearby, fairly good public toilets and a moderately sized field. The chip timing was a nice bonus, as were the free apples and bananas at the end. Unusually (even for a small race) there was no baggage or changing area. It was lucky that the weather was good. A lack of water during the race was probably an error too.
The course was tough and hilly, and certainly not PB territory. There was a total of 245m of climbs, including a sharp incline in the final 500m. But despite the little organisational niggles and the testing course, I really enjoyed the race. Though it was my slowest 10K, I placed 10th out of a field of 222. My best ever race finish.
Read what other runners made of it.
