Well done to Kirsty Lack and Vanessa Green who took part in the East Coast 10k at Great Yarmouth on Sunday morning.
Report by Kirsty:-
A bit of an overcast day for the Great Yarmouth 10k as hosted by Great Yarmouth Road Runners; a bit of rain and wind was compensated by the flattest course ever! Around 500 runners soon made it a lot brighter as we took on the loop and a half of the seafront starting from just outside the marina centre which was a fantastic venue as race HQ.
While Yarmouth in winter isn't the most scenic, it still is really lovely and I love being near the sea. It has some really old and beautiful buildings if you just look past all the arcades; for example the Hippodrome circus is amazing and well worth a visit to see a show there 😊
I would really recommend this race, PB potential due to the flatness and amazing crowd support helped so much. Even with the head wind in places knowing there wasn't going to be any hills to further take your breath away was good for giving it your all! My best 10k time in well over two years.
