In short: Great run...perfect for beginners!
In full: I enjoyed this run more than any run i've ever done, and i've done a few! Weather was perfect after all the gales. As for the organisation...all I can say is that it was excellent! The portaloos behind the Hilton Hotel were the best I have seen (and used) at any running event, im more used to standing in a queue for an hour for a single industrial bog...take a lesson Great North Run! And to make it better...a bloke called Norman invited me to join Blackpool Athletics Club...after the initial shock of finding out how old he is..I realised that he IS a runner and that im just a plodder! Cheers Norman! Good day all round!

In short: Could do with some portaloos!
In full: Great support throughout the whole race & it really helps. I used to boycott this race as no official times given after about 40 mins? but I have grown to love it

In short: What a scorcher !
In full: As flat a course as you will find. Whilst we can't predict the weather I would question the 11.00 start time as it meant that a majority of runners were running in the ' midday sun'. Very , very, very very HOT.
