In short: Well organised - well marshalled 3 hilly laps - pity about missing drinks station
In full: Last but one drinks station had packed up ?
If time limit is 5 hours then support must be there for the 5 hours !

Big sign "Toilets Ahead" - a block opposite some shops about 5 or 6 miles - however when you got there the marshalls told you they were locked ?

Otherwise a well marshalled and well organised event.

In short: I expected a 3 lap route to be a lot worse - at least you know what to expect in the last lap

In short: Undulating course - laps makes it good for supporters.... who could be persuaded to do the relay!

In short: Excellent end of year run always plenty of company.
In full: This is an undulating course so you are not going to run a pb but there is always runners around when the going gets tougth.
