In short: A hard PB in the outfit, but dont we all run for fun?
In full: Really loved it! A mate dropped out so ran alone, but when you're all dressed the same does it really matter??!
Not really a PB run due to the costume, but the course itself is so if you find another battersea park run, go for it!
Will defo repeat this next year, but wont hold out for the after-race granery bar, leave that for the squirrels! Great little medal tho and supporters seemed to love the Santas running by...

In full: Great race for beginners, hilarious to see all the santas warming up and a nice quick traffice free course. Only 2 minor complaints, no water stations, and a few bottlenecks.. Generally good organisation - quick bag pick up, bit congested at teh finish but overall pretty good

In short: Most enjoyable. Shame ther were no post race refreshments for vegans.
In full: Really enjoyed this, I thought it was well organised, but having cycled to the event I would have appreciated some changing facilities.
Once I had completed the race and made my way to the 'recovery' area I would have liked something slightly more substantial than plain water. Being vegan that was all I could have though neither the milkshake (obviously) or the cereal bars were vegan friendly. You may think I'm being picky but I did cough up twenty quid to enter like everyone else.
