In short: A great, simple, fast race
In full: My second time running it, and both times it has been a really uncomplicated fast race. Well done to the organisers! Strong headwinds this year esp. between 3 and 4km took the edge off PBs. As a series to see how you are progressing - excellent! This race is just what it says on the tin.

In short: Too tight at the start, running two abreast isn't wide enough!

In short: only my 3rd run and i beat my PB.
In full: The word race did put me of as i am only a beginner in this game, thought i would be left behind. a bit off putting watching the fast runners pass you on their way back but in the end i enjoyed the run it was a great evening as i beat my pb and i will be doing it again.

In short: Fast course, well organised, no motor traffic
In full: Fast course, well organised, had to keep your wits about you as you could be mown down by cyclists coming the other way.

In short: My first race - and I loved it.
In full: A 2 lap course alongside the harbour and around the lido and track. My first race so I have nothing to measure against but seemed very well organised. Very flat and totally traffic free but with a couple of tight turns. I never considered myself as somebody who does events - just runs to keep fit - but I am converted and am off to find my next race. Will be back next year.

In short: Well organised, fast flat course and good marshalls.
In full: Well organised, flat, fast course, PBs possible, marshalls were very good and the course layout increased enjoyment for spectators where runners re entered the stadium at the half-way stage. Very enjoyable.
