Stansted 10K

[Deleted User]

Just looking round for a 10k next weekend and spotted this one.

In the race description it says "most finish within 2 1/2 hours" and "a steward goes with the last walkers"

So - if you're a beginner and worried about being last or being too slow....this looks like a good first race :-)

apart from the hills

lol....with 2 1/2 hours, even hills can be tackled.

Yes true enough. I'll be the one with my rope and crampons on for the hill at 8 km! Looking forward to the race despite the predicted 28 degrees....its my local which finishes at a pub and has a good BBQ after it!

this was my first "flat/ hilly", boy hilly means hilly!!!

Whether was 'nice' though, manages a personal worst, 1.02, but pleased i finished without passing out

Looking forward to next year

Glad u enjoyed it too mozzaalee. I also got a personal worst, but had a good run and enjoyed myself which is the main thing. I felt like I had earned my pint of shandy and a burger at the end, for sure!!
Its every 2 years, so hopefully 2008 will be a little cooler!

Hills and Heat is how I would describe this one. My in car computer put the temperature at 32c at the finish - worst time for me in nearly a year.

Just spotted this race.. obviously missed it but would love to know where the course went. Used to live in the next village and would maybe like to return to my roots next year and run this race. Anyone out there that can give me a course description, i.e. where id it go!

Hi there all of you. Thank you for your comments.

Look out for this year's run which is on 15th June.  The route wil be posted on our website nearer the time - we do not publicise it too much as part of it goes over private land and we have to get permission for the day. 

I have requested a cooler day so fingers crossed!
