In short: A great event, well organised and a very friendly atmosphere.
In full: Good organisation, lots of marshals outnon the route, very friendly. Bit of a tight start which could be improved but otherwise a great race.

One or two minor points could make it even better; such as improving the start, using your bib number for the bag drop, and may be posting the numbers out before hand. All minor points, which didn't detract from a really good run.

Looking forward to next years race!

In short: Great marshals, generally good organisation
In full: Overall I thought this race went well considering it's the first time it was run.

The issues with the womens prize winners were sorted after some initial confusion. I hope that the womens winner recieved the same prize from the sponsors as the mens as this wasn't clear?

Great and numerous marshals (they did tell me about the rabbit holes). Clear directions.

I'd consider moving the start so that runners don't encounter a sharp corner and bollards immediately.

In short: Well organised, friendly, interesting route.
In full: Good race. Although not very scenic the varied terrain and view keep it interesting. The organisation was one of the best I've come across. The route was clearly marked, the marshals were numerous and friendly. There were cones out for some of the rabbit holes on the off road section but I think there should have been a warning sign or a warning from the marshalls. A goody bag would have been nice considering the entry fee.

In full: New event, well organised. Friendly marshals out in large numbers. Good catering too. Some congestion at the start but I think they'll fix that for next year.
