In short: Used it as a training run and really enjoyed it
In full: A bit bunched at the beginning of the canal, but otherwise a really lovely race. We parked at the finish and the buses to the start etc were really well organised. The tow paths were a bit muddier than I had expected and slippery in places, but all added to the fun. Not sure I liked the hill right at the end though! A great run and would definitely do it again.

In short: Great route but slippery
In full: A great route along the canal - flat but with some tricky slopes up to the locks and bridges. The rain and leaves did mean it was slippery, but not too uneven.

Short of toilets at the start, and the baggage van was a bit of a disaster - long wait at the start, and did not turn up at the finish until c. 2 hours

In short: A good flattish course with good Marshall's and a nice atmosphere
In full: PB's would be very possible if you were near the front and there hadn't been rain for a while! A bit slippy in places this year.

There needs to be more toilets at the start -about twice as many. Several of us nearly missed the start!

The Uxbridge to Watford route is a better way round in my view-despite the walk from the station at the start.

Generally a good race with good Marshall's and a good atmosphere. I'll be back. (Shame about the baggage bus nut that wasn't the race organisers fault)!

In short: Good Race - friendly atmosphere
In full: Enjoyable race along the canal for most of the route. Tough incline at the end, but only because it was the last mile. Great comaraderie at the end between the runners.

Only real issue was that the baggage van took 2 hours to get from Uxbridge to Watford leaving us standing around in the cold. Lucky the weather wasn't too bad.

In short: Really enjoyed it, running alongside the canal, was a bit slippy tho, found it more difficult to run. Needed more toilets! there were about 50 people waiting for 6 toilets! the scenery was nice, but it was the same thing the whole way through.
