When my friend asked me to help her out by 'filling in' for one of the spots on The Asics British 10km run, I was more than happy to oblige. I do quite a bit of running already so was prepared for the race. What I wasn't prepared for was the sheer volume of people who were taking part.
To celebrate its 10th year The British 10km included 30,000 runners! I have taken part in many races before but never with this many runners. It was an amazing atmosphere and certainly made the nerves kick in. After waiting a further 15mins from the initial start of the race we finally crossed the start line and headed on a 10km route around the wonderful city of London.
With spectators lining the route the whole way the experience was amazing and so unexpected. There is nothing like a great scenic run and with the city of London as the backdrop; this scenic run was truly amazing.
All in all a fantastic experience. I would recommend it to anyone, not only if you are looking for a challenge but this is a super way to spend your Sunday!
