I did the 10k in 2006 and worried about the cold for 6 months. I'm not sure what the temperature was but I was cold for 3 miles until the sun came out and then I was perfectly fine. I didn't even need to sit in the ambulance afterwards!
It's a well-run, friendly and low key race. I hope you like it!
