Allie Hoping to get under 1 hour on this but haven't run for months due to too much work (and other poor excuses).  Persuaded to enter by a friend.  Must get back into training! Unaffiliated 55:55 59:56 1:01:00 59:56 49.63

becca7 Was near the back of the queue to start and it was frustrating to wait 40 minutes in the rain to even get through the start gate.  However a PB by 5 minutes more than compensates.  The course is great, mostly flat or downhill and the spectators were super.  Almost continual dodging and weaving required and more perhaps might have been done to let people who were intending to walk round know that they should start at the back and keep to the side. 100 Marathon Club, VEGAN RUNNERS UK, Wigston Phoenix, LDWA 45:03 1:02:00 1:02:00 48.81

ClaireT 3rd time doing this race and really enjoy getting to run through the streets of Central London. Crowd support is amazing! Like the slight change of course near the finish. Pleased to improve on last years time by ~30s, but question the accuracy of distance as Garmin measured it as 10.39K. Would be nice to get some chip timing on the go!

Covert Wasn't going to race this as no where near fit enough so decided to just run with sister and pace her instead. Got her a PB by 9 mins 32 secs! Ealing, Southall & Middlesex AC 39:11 1:03:52 1:03:52 41.58
curlygirly great atmosphere great day but very rainy and windy in parts. i agree with claire t though- my garmin also read over 10k! Springfield Striders RC 39:26 44:58 46:00 44:58 67.59

Daz M Great atmosphere and superb support from the crowd although Slow runners spoilt it and need to read the rules as a pb was very hard to achieve as they did not keep to one side as advised in the race rules- too much weaving for me...but i would probably do it again Bedford Harriers AC 41:55 51:14 52:00 51:14 53.10

everready I just wish people were staggered better, it was sooo frustrating tripping over slow runners, and tripping over disgarded water and orange bottles Unaffiliated 49:59 49:59 48:30 49:59 53.52
fatgeet First 10K in many years!!  Very crowded and didn't enjoy the course (too many loops) but no excuses.  Enjoyed it albeit a little slow and undertrained. Croydon Harriers 47:51 47:51 50:00 59:26 47.58

jules67 Somehow started just about at the back...spent 90% of the race weaving in and out...only cleared a little in the last kilometre...but it's a PB! Unaffiliated 49:02 49:02 50:00 49:37 62.63

kdp Difficult to get to start. This fustrated me and I waqs determined not to be defeated therefore tried even harder to get to the finish in good time. Hillingdon AC 56:55 56:55 1:00:00 56:55 49.29

Lady P This is my first 10k - am a bit nervous about coming last. Thought it a great venuie to help spur me along
Not sure where I am going to park yet any ideas? 
Have had another cold recently so haven't trained much over the last two weeks. Unaffiliated 1:13:23 1:13:23 1:12:00 1:13:23 42.63

Maj Loved running through the streets of London. Really enjoyable race! Bogs of Somerset 57:42 57:42 58:58 50.58
martynjlane Too many people to do a quick time, even though it is a flat course. Very chaotic at start and finish. Good atmosphere though. Unaffiliated 42:57 43:15 46:00 45:29 59.10
mbc A PB! very busy as usual and why do walkers insit on going to the front. The key to getting a good time her is making sure you are in the first 500-1,000 people at the start. Unaffiliated 39:32 42:40 43:55 63.37
mikeharrison Good pb. Got near(ish) the front but still hopping around slower runners/walkers for the first km or so. How difficult is it to put in timing pens? Enjoyed the race once it got going properly. Unaffiliated 45:22 45:22 45:22 58.96

Naomi P I reckon a good time will be all but impossible: crowds, no chip timing (that I'm aware of, but will be happy to be proved wrong) etc. Still, would love to know my 10k performance and this will be a great chance to get out with a few mates who think anything further is a bit obsessive. Erm, they may have a point!
UPDATE: managed to get right up at the sharp end which really helped, no congestion at all. Was optimistically hoping to break 50, and pulled a fast couple of k out at the end to finish in 47 minutes and 58. Still saw lots of people at the 2k mark when I came in. This race could really do with chip timing considering the entry fee and is more for fun runners than club runners. Would rather be given a cup of tea than a medal for this one...

nick_evans Set off just behind first runners - crossed line with official clock showing 45 mins 28 secs. Own timing was 45 min 00.19 seconds. Unaffiliated 42:25 43:24 50:00 45:00 59.14
Noodle My first 10km race. Encouraged to join by a work colleague. Did a lot better than I thought considering I weighed 16.3 stone at the time and my longest run was 3 miles! Unaffiliated 53:23 1:03:05 1:20:00 1:03:05 41.85
not built for speed really busy - am pleased to come within 1 mn of pb, next race will definitley smash it! 26.2 Road Runners Club 46:48 57:35 58:37 50.70

oprah Really pleased with my time. A minute better than 2006, and with half the training since my knee's been buggered! Lovely route, as always, really enjoyed it. A few bottlenecks along the way, and could have done without the wind, but really great race. :) Unaffiliated 44:28 57:58 57:58 51.37

pullo Am only entered in this race because my wife fancies a trip from S Wales up to London. Please don't bet on this race as there are too many entrants for a possible P.B.Did comlete 10k at Llanelli in 51:47 two weeks ago but think this will have to be just for fun.                 Should'nt have belived all the hype could have been a P.B. if i'd gone for it but happy enough with time. Unaffiliated 48:43 48:43 52:20 58.24

SarahBoots (Solitude_Fairy) Run/Walk with Dad. His first race in about 15 years! **UPDATE** Ran with Dad. His furthest run in 15 years is 3 miles, I am very proud to say he ran the whole way! He now wants to do another Half marathon! He has the bug. Fantastic race, great stmosphere, good orginasation. I was worried after hearing bad reports, but we had a fantastic time.  Only real downer was I got my arm caught up in someones lead from their iPod, no idea how, but it really hurt. Unaffiliated 1:01:21 1:01:21 1:04:29 47.36

A lot of bottle necks, the race would have been better with staggered starts, but generally alright. Unaffiliated 57:02 57:02 55:00 57:02 46.36

theraithrover Managed to escape the worst of the congestion but had to skip and dodge for the first 2k or so. very pleased with a PB. Weather not as bad as forecast and the temperature was ok for running. Certainly consider this one again next year. South West Veterans AC 40:25 43:40 52:00 45:59 66.29
TommyTank First 10k, but the number of people jogging and walking made it impossible to actually run.  Good experience but not a well organising event. Unaffiliated 43:00 43:00 45:00 58.69

Wabo being flat I hope to get round in 58 secs quicker
Crossed the line in 54.35!!! At 10 (acc to garmin) my time was 53.  It was one of those massive races where you are weaving in and out all the time.  I did feel really good today! Eton Manor AC, Orion Harriers 54:35 54:35 55:00 54:35 61.71
