In short: Excellent race, course, organisation - but that WIND!
In full: Second time round for me and everything went as it did in 2011 - including that WIND! Nice when it was at your back but definitely used up petrol fighting against it. Of course the organisers cant do anything about that!
The course is a good quick one. The organisation brilliant (from numbers being sent out early; informative website; great car park marshalls; course marshalls; updating notices on Facebook; baggage/changing facilities). The medal is fantastic and the goody bag is the best you'll ever get anywhere.
The only reason why I say I wont run this again is because of the travel. Living in Kent, I am sticking with races in Kent and Sussex.
Easily the best race I have run in. Well done to the organisers.
