In short: Well done to all of the bananas
In full: Well done to all of the banana runners. I did not expect it to be that hot...thankfully plently of water stops - that just show you the organisation was spot on. Good support by the stewards & crowds esp at the end. Great event - glad I travelled but shame its so far away. Need to have a word with whoever about the car parking costs - give the money made (& fines) to Leukaemia Research. Well done to everyone.

In short: What a way to start the day..................
In full: Very hot, but had a fantastic time.

Goody bag had everything you need to recover after a race, organisation was faultless and the stewards were smiling and encouraging everyone.

Well done to Bananans.

In short: Well organised but 10.5km!!
In full: I thought this was well organised and had an excellent atmosphere but my garmin clocked it at 10.54km and it was spot on for all the previous markers. Nevertheless I am looking forward to beating my time next year!!

In short: Well done the bananas!
In full: My 2nd outing for this race. Found it much harder going than in regent's park last year - windy, funny loops. Some great marshalls though. Well done the bananas - I don't know how you manage in those costumes. Overall - always a nice atmosphere and a great "fun run"
