In short: Well organised. Great atmosphere. Ran the whole way with a smile on my face.
In full: Very well organised start in 3 waves (maybe the Gt North Run could take note of this) meant not too much crowding. Nice historic city. Great goody bag, T-shirt and medal. Would definitely do this one again. Thanks Portsmouth - Great City.

In full: The organisation is excellent for a large race, and there is no difficulty in getting into the pens, finding friends, and meeting up afterwards. It's a nice flat course too, and wide roads seem to ease congestion. Thanks to the organisers.
