    Not seen owt on here today. Sending out a big shout to the organisers, participants and spectators for the Barnsley 10k race.

    Not quite a personal best today but loved the camaraderie and support from Tarn folk.

    In the olden days used to be the Barnsley 6 (miles). I'm sure a Reform UK victory will reinstate it and only white people, born in England will be able to compete.

    Quite unusual for a Council to stage a run, fair play to them.
    Would you class it as a ‘fast’ course?

    He means is it flat. Or preferably, does it start at the top of a hill and finish at the bottom.

    The Barnsley Six and the Barnsley 10K were different races, I believe JP. The Six was tougher, hence my PB's (many decades ago) being about 2 minutes worse for the Six than the 10K.

    Did the Six and the 10K many times, Winker. I only tried a half marathon once, namely the Rotherham version (about 1985, IIRC). My God! That was some way. Well and truly cream-crackered after that, and I knew a full marathon would always be beyond me! :D

    It was a lot more hilly than I expected to be honest. Started near Market Kitchen, out to West Way, Shambles Street and out to Barugh Green on Huddersfield Road with a similar return. I grew up in Barnsley but hadn't realised just how hilly that route was.

    Nice to see the Barnsley 10k being in Barnsley. Did one a few years back, but that was from Royston and never actually made it into Barnsley proper despite its name. Saw a load of pictures from my former club mates.

    I can't think how all the Turkish barbers make a living. there can't be that many Turkish folk in Barnsley, especially after Brexit!

    That’s why I asked, when I looked at description it was described as undulating which usually means hills!
    But then with you saying not quite a PB, made me question so I looked up results and see winner was around 32 minutes, Grimsby this year was won around 31 which is classed as a fast course, hence question.

    Ah - sorry! Thought I'd missed somert! Twas bloody hard to be fair. Much more hilly than I realised. I drive that route pretty much every match day and really hadn't realised just how vertical it actually was.

    Also, for context my PB on a 10k is 57mins. So no where near the actual winner today!!

    I know that feeling, as a keen social runner I often find myself cursing roads that I never knew had hills.:).
