In short: Well organised, good vibe
In full: Enjoyed this despite the cold and biting wind. Fairly flat course around Lake Willen helps fast times. Good organisation and friendly runners. Thanks to marshals/volunteers/organisers:

In short: No Thrills, No Atmosphere and No Medal!
In full: The finish was a real anti-climax with no medal!

Don't get much for your money and Marshalls really need to do better. Chip timing and something to show for the race would be nice.

Marshalls club website is very poor with no race information at all.

I would expect a big club like this to do better. This is the 3rd time I've done this race and the organisation has declined each time. I won't be coming back :(

In short: Afternoon format is fantastic
In full: Rare to have a saturday afternoon event and I believe that makes this race special. The course is fast. The start a little congested - perhaps unavoidably. The people who organised and marshalled the event were superb.
