In short: Would have been useful to know that the main road into Bolton was going to be closed that day but once the race began, it was well marshalled and signposted.

In short: Good to see accurate 1K markers (i.e. sprayed on roads and visible signs), start now on the main road is an improvement. Overall a pleasure to run, full marks to Bolton Utd in getting the race on for a good price, inc T-shirt and water.

In short: Well organised club race appealing to everyone
In full: Hills? Wot hills? One or two slight inclines (and downhiils) just to stretch the old calf muscles on a respectable course that was well organised. Arriving an hour beforehand I parked near the entrance and was amazed at the amount of people that were still turning up at 9am and past that and then wondering where to park until a friendly marshall unlocked a gate (after other drivers had blocked access)! Improved finish since I did it last with the start on the road and finish on the track with plenty of room for water and t-shirt. Thanks Bolton UH.
