In short: No fuss 5 miles
In full: The Victory 5 is a no fuss out back 5 mile race. A traffic free course run along Stamshaw foreshore and the North Harbour business park. Strong winds put pay to any fast times, but with favourable conditions this can be a really fast course.

In short: Not overly impressed tbh
In full: Arrived an hour and fifteen minutes before the start....not a parking space in sight, for such a large event the parking is a nightmare.
£8 entry fee, medal looks like it cost about 10p, no date and just looks very very cheap. No clock working at the finish and no juice, just water which was a task in itself to find.
Finally the weather, i know theres nothing the organisers can do about it, but the wind coming off the Solent was a nightmare.
