In short: Excellent race, well organised, just wish it was a half marathon!
In full: I enjoyed this run very much, it was a cold day, but thankfully less windy than the day before. The atmosphere was great, the crowds were supportive and happy. There were plenty of fluids around the course.
Another 3 miles would have made this even more awesome.

In full: Great crowd support and atmosphere on yet another drizzly day in Southsea. Very well organised & nice goody bag. Agree with comments that smaller powerade bottles would mean less wastage.

In short: Another great 'Great' Race
In full: Enjoyable run, my third Great Run of the year (Edinburgh, Birmingham and South). Becoming a very stong brand and you know what you are going to get. Race was fine, happy with time, although ther was a bottleneck near the start. So that's the good stuff, however, if we are running as a healthy choice and to save the evironment then supply more bins as only BP had a biggert clean up job in the gulf of Mexico and dear Powerade people, just a tip, what about a bottle either a third or a quarter of the size. Massive waste of plastic, massive waste of your sports drink and the gutter is not the best place for product placement.
