In short: Purple Patch - Well Done again. Scenic and I got a Pb.
In full: Great race. Marshalls fantastic - Organisation great and little chance of going wrong. Plenty of parking at Marlow but took 2 hours after the race to get back on public transport (I ran the route quicker!). Only down side is that you do need to watch your feet as it can be uneven in places and passing can be tricky for big parts of the race. Plenty of water stations on a very scenic track.

In full: Very well oragnised. Liked the clear mile markers and really liked the frequent water stations - I would definitely do this race again. It might be an idea just to remind people on entry to be mindful when they have their headphones on of other runners trying to pass them from behind and in particular of not just stopping in the path while they have their drink - blocking the way for everyone else! other than that a really fabulous race and great that all of the gates were opened thank you!
