In short: Could not fault ANYTHING about this race
In full: First time I have run this race and this distance, organisation from the start was brilliant, even saying turn off the SatNav and follow signs on the instructions was a great organisational plus, carparking was easy and free, walk to the start line was easy, toilets were portaloos with no great queues. Run itself was a pleasant mix of road and offroad 2 "water" stations which was plentiful, the one part of the course I found very tough was the hill around the 4 mile mark, but hey ho it's a hill. Finish was slightly downhill which is always an advantage. Nice medal and the pint of Pimms at £3.00 was a bargain. Will be back next year with at least 3 other people.
