In short: Wonderful atmsophere given a great kick start by Bob Wilson and the warm up guy. Shame about the rain at 5k and the hail at about 9k!
In full: Good course altough very wet underfoot, no surprise given the monsoon weather! Very well organised, wonderful atmosphere, excellent warm up guy and great support from the spectators and especially the marshalls (I agree with the other reviewer mentioning the 2 ladies at 7.5k who were immensely encouraging!). Definitely come bck next year, hopefully for a crisp sunny day next time please

In short: Great race
In full: Well done to the Willow Foundation for putting on a great race - excellent organisation (my only gripe wad the km markers all being in the wrong place except the 9k one).

To the marhsalls (especially the 2 ladies at around 7.5k), a huge thank you...at least we runners were on the move and not standing in the deluge. You were all fab.

I'll be back in 2010!

In short: The race had a lovely atmosphere and all of the runners were happy to be supporting the cause. There was quite a lot of support for the Willow Foundation and thanks go to the officials for keeping me going through the wind and rain!
