In short: A great way to see all the sights of London. Entry fee is rather steep and the quality of the medal is very poor and no chip timing either. Although the atmosphere is fantastic and is the only reason I might do it again

In short: Don't waste your money on this one!!
In full: Over-priced, poorly organised, no clock, timings or chip for £30 entrance. Was even given the wrong medal at the end. Total rip off and there are plenty of other races in and around London that offer much much more. ASICS should be ashamed of themselves.

In short: Outrageously over-priced, poorly organised & far too busy.
In full: No chip timing, no predicted time pens at the start & not even a clock as you cross the start line. Far too many people for this ever to be a success. I'll never be doing it again.

In short: Took my entry fee, didn't send me an entry pack & now won't refund me
In full: Overall not very impressed by the organisation. Not sure why for such a large event they can't offer an email facility if you have a query. Instead you have to write AND provide an SAE if you want a response.
3 weeks after writing and still no response. Am beginning to doubt I'll see my race entry fee again.
