In short: great race, fantastically well organised
In full: I wasn't expecting to enjoy this (I'm from Leeds,I know the scenery!) but ended up having a smashing time!. Superbly well organised, loads of drinks, great support (crowd and marshalls) good start, pens for faster runners. 2nd half felt much easier than the first, something to look forward to next year. Well done to those involved.

In full: Organisation was very good: timing chips this year an improvement. Spectators were great, braving the rain. Thanks as ever to the excellent marshals, drinks station and nipple-cream people. Will be back next year.
