In short: Well organised but expensive
In full: Well organised, nice and flat and a new PB. Cost of entry a bit steep and charging for baggage on top was very cheeky.

In short: needed more loos and a bit more space at the finish rather than having to stop dead and queue up.

In short: Just what I was hoping for on my race debut.
In full: The pre-event and on-the-day organisation was very efficient. I imagine it is extremely awkward getting a race set up in London's no.1 park with the safety considerations. Everyone involved was helpful and enthusiastic which made for a great atmos on a perfect morning.
I can't imagine what else they should have done about the bag drop - any closer and they would have been in the quagmire! Also, the park's toilet block was a couple of minutes away, and the portaloo queue-ers weren't listening to the announcements.
I was surprised that there wasn't a chip sensor at the start, but it wasn't difficult to work out your accurate time. I was extatic when I saw the clock and realized I would be inside 50 mins!
Finally, remember this was a charity event - the medal, t-shirt and goody bag was more than sufficient. If you want a luxury goody bag, get invited to an Oscars party.
Thanks to Sabina and the After Adoption organizers; I thoroughly enjoyed my morning.

In full: The organisation was ok but the actual course could have been a lot better. It was confusing with the km markers so close together, and too many loops around same field.
