In short: Excellent momento at end (towel) but around an industrial estate. Also, roads not fully closed to traffic so watch your running. Also had a good fun run to entertain the younger members of the family before the race.

In short: Well organised, fast course and friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.
In full: Big race (850 finishers this year!) billed as fast and flat but there are a couple of short sharp hills in the last 3k (just when you don't need them!) to watch out for. The finish on a traffic free, tree-lined boulevard for the last 400m is special.
Great atmosphere.

In short: Towel at end rather than tee shirt nice touch
