In short: 3 laps of flat, fast, wide paths with beautiful park surrounds
In full: I had a great time, and took a minute from my PB. I was wrong to worry that the thousands of runners would be a blockage on the second and third laps: The wide lanes and friendly folk meant I was hardly slowed, though any sub-40 runner would encounter the pack for about the last 4km. Personally, I thought the large flourescent signs marking each kilometre were visible enough, though if they were mounted higher up they would be seen from within the pack. I would recommend this event for anyone of any ability.

In short: fine for amareurs, boring route
In full: It is an OK run for non experieced runners, organisation is fine. However the route is quite boring as it laps the park 3 times. Also the KMS are not well signaled which makes it difficul to set a pace some times.
