Well done moger, I was there too, nowhere near as fast as you though! It was a great day, my first 10k in the bag! I forgot to give my chip thingy back, didn't realise til I got home.... Ah well 😊. Keen to do another one though.

Thanks moger, I've gone for the Fengallop 10k in June, although I won't be 'galloping' that's for sure, and the cambridge race for life 5k also in June. There is another 10k at Bourn in September, that I'm looking at and the Bonfire burn in November. That first 10k was such a buzz, would certainly do Cambourne again.

Good luck for Sunday.

Crumbs moger, that pre-race drama would have finished me off! You must have nerves of steel. Great time, well done :)

Oooh bonfire burn 10K sounds good, got a free October/November (apart from Trafalgar Night drunken foolishness :) ) an end of year run could be good.
