In short: Marshals - smile please!
In full: Well organised scenic course, but undermanned at drinks stations - became problematic to get a drink! I was'nt at the back, but you just got the feeling many of the marshals were waiting to go home..

In short: More water tables needed at the finish.
In full: Needed to get runners away from the finish line quicker. Perhaps a queue each for male & female runners to collect T-shirts?
Table with water on would have been better if it had been much longer and runners could only take water from one side. Was a bit of a crush!

In short: Running in Clumber Park on a sunny autumn day - enough said!
In full: Great plod - did not enjoy the ambulance on my heels for the first three miles, but otherwise great organisation.
Good to have encouragement on the way round even though a back marker - but some marshalls seemed more keen on knowing how much longer they would have to be there.

In short: Someone told me this course was flat. They lied!
In full: Beautiful scenery. Clumber Park is lovely on a sunny autumn day. The downhill run-in is a relief. Having only run the Robin Hood before, this was a totally different experience. A lot quieter and more low key.

In full: Whoever told me there was only one hill lied!! however really enjoyed the race, very friendly, coming near the back however meant running to the finish line was difficult due to the amount of people milling about. Thankyou to the lady who drove past me with a cup of water!
