In short: brilliant day and a well organised run, BIG thanks to all officials
In full: with it being so HOT, I did not try for a fast run (fast for me)but that means I should get a PB next year,I too had the same problem as Catherine Walton's review, but the officials where very helpful,and and we got there in the end, has made me a little uneasy about entering online in future

In full: A day in the sunshine at Blackpool. A well organised fun run for various charities. This event gets better every year, the organisation, marshalling, drinks all well organised. The crowd were great and a medal to boot. What more can you want. Well done Blackpool.

In full: Great race, superb atmosphere all the way, more noise than Bloomfield road at the end!! Plenty of drink stations & an orange & banana pit stop. I've been doing this one since 2001 & I think this year has been the best so far. Also got a PB.
