In short: Nice Course - Shame about the end!
In full: Do you have Great Expections for a Nike sponsored event? I won't in future. The, frankly, disgraceful finish ensured that rapidly cooling runners were kept waiting while bad-tempered men noted numbers. The course shared elemnts of the 2005 NSPCC MK Half so was quite scenic in places; the car parking and subsequent dispersal were very good and the Lucozade people were very generous with dishing out the sports drinks. Next year - maybe; it would be a definate IF THEY SORT OUT THE FINISH. Sorry, I couldn't help shouting.

In short: My first proper race and I loved it. Bit of a bottleneck at the end but other than that it was flawless if a little chilly.

In short: Fast, flat course. Very well organised.
In full: A very good race and well organised. There is plenty of parking space. Over twenty portaloos provided. A fairly wide starting section and a course that is one of the flattest you will come across. Good marshalling all round the course and an efficient finishing funnel. No delays in getting out of the car park at the end. Even the weather (once you got going)was about right.
Well done and thanks to all those who organised and helped out at this race.

In full: well organised flattish course my only down point was lack of facilities for the watching families.
