I haven't entered this one yet, but I'm very tempted as it's so near to home. I generally do half marathons, but I did Lostock 6 last month and really enjoyed a shorter race, so I think it's likely I will end up doing this one.
Having said that though I am sure I have something else on that weekend... like 3 nights of partying!! So not TOO sure I'll be making it....
Just where do my priorities lie?

The fancy dress is Silver sor perhaps I could get my best silver hot pants out and print up a T Shirt that says "Iv'e just run the Bolton 10k!"
In that way when I look knackered... they won't put it down to too much Whysky like they normally do!!!
What do your reakon?
Damian
I could try and persuade by girlfriend to drive... but somehow I don't think I'll succeed!

Shame you're not doing Bolton -it's a good run
I'm number 228
I can't do links I'm afraid but if you copy and paste this
http://www.race-results.co.uk/results/2005/bolton.htm
into your address bar, it is a link to last years results. I reckon you'll be on target to finish in around 1 hour with your GNR time. This looks like a race for all levels and abilities from last years results. Good luck!
Nope, you won't be at the back, but I might!. Ran 10K for the very first time last week and I was pleased with 69 mins, but on last years results that makes me 695 / 727. Think I need to work on my speed to avoid embarassment! It will be my first ever race though. So that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!

Won't be able to do it this year as I have the FLM same day - enjoy.
A few tips. Don't enter on the day it's too busy. Watch out for a quick start - I remember being called to the start and I had only just got there from about 50 yards away and the race started. I remember some people getting caught out - the race won't wait for you!
Hopefully there will be plenty of toilets as we have Premier Fives and the New Sprots complex open.
500 entrants to date. I will only take 850 so i predict disapointment for some.
Before the moans all entries on the day are £10 primarily to speed the queue up - (more feedback as now not sorting change) and secondly attached runners are notoriious for just turning up on the day (causing Organisers the problem of How many!!) so if they enter early this year it is £4 cheaper now they can't moan at that (you bet!!!??!!)
Evrey one have a good run. Remember I organise it for all the field especially those in the middle and end. There will be problems, there always is, but we will do our best to make your run a good one

My first ever race, so a couple of (possibly daft) questions if you don't mind?
Where is the best place to park, is there a charge?
Race starts at 9:30, is that right?
What time would you recommend getting to Leverhulme Park, so as not to be on the last minute?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers, Mark
Will give it some more thought and perhaps sign up on the day...
