In short: Good course, well marshalled.
In full: I enjoyed it, but didn't hear the start gun, and the finish (handing out medals, mars bars and drinks) was a bit chaotic - people were getting missed out. I paid £9.50 to enter online 6 weeks before the race, whcih felt a bit pricey, but I'd do it again.
