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. Date of review: December 5, 2005

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. Date of review: December 5, 2005
