In short: My second RPF HM, and hopefully not the last - one of the best events in the calendar
In full: Organization is great, the route is the best one can get in London - much more scenic than the famous London marathon. Pure beauty, no industrial estates. Endless supply of goodies, including a newspaper to read on a way back! Lots of things for family/supporters to do while waiting, and the "food hall" after the race is amazing. I got my PB by 2 minutes today, the course is flat, wide and fast. Minor quibble - you don't get your results in runbritain.com, but does it really matter compared to the sheer enjoyment of the run through the best sites of London?

In short: Excellent race. Great atmosphere.
In full: I really enjoyed the run this morning and managed a PB.
It's a shame it rained so much over the last few days as the pre-race area and food festival area was very muddy. Over crowded in the starting area and huge queues for toilets and baggage drop - it looks like some people would have started late.
Great course - support amazing, all the charities seem to do a great job. It was a beautiful morning. I hope that I can get in next year.
