In short: Despite the awful weather a good course, carparks culd have been better, should have signs warning drinks stations ahead. I am surprised the size of club that there were not more marshalls on course, perhaps they should not had so many of there club
In full: Despite the awful weather a good course, carparks culd have been better, should have signs warning drinks stations ahead. I am surprised the size of club that there were not more marshalls on course, perhaps they should not had so many of there club members running. Spoke to someone whom i passed and they finished behind me yet there chip time was faster than me!!! work that one out. Some die hard supporters along the way, they were great.

In short: Given the bad conditions I thoroughly enjoyed the event.
In full: Bad weather a side I really enjoyed this event. The organisation of the event was professional. Was dismayed by the way some people felt that they could just through away there bin bags (water proofs) on the way around the course!!! This can’t help the organisers with the local community!!

In short: The move from June to December moved the issue from the heat to the atrociuos weather conditions which affected the race, the start time, the atmosphere and the parking

In short: Despite the rain and wind an excellent event which was well organised and had a friendly crowd.
In full: This was my first time doing this race and I have to say it is now one of my favourites! It was a well organised event (despite the delay of 10 mins - which was not the organisers fault) and well marshalled. Everyone was friendly from the volunteers, supporters and fellow runners. A big thank you to the organisers. I will definitely be back next year!

In short: Car parking could have been improved. Would also like to have seen signs for drink stations. A good turn out considering the weather.

In short: Could have done without the wind + rain! But a fast course, and a few hardy supporters as a bonus. Wish the car parking was better organized though.
