In short: Took 5 mins to cross the line, and then to achieve a reasonable time had to spend most of the race barging by people. I hate having to be aggressive in such a fund raising event, I am sure fun runners don't appreciate being barged past either!

In short: Queues for the portaloos were dreadful and small t-shirt packs were already all gone by the time I finished, but otherwise a great atmosphere, very friendly!
