In short: Very well organised BUT Not enough T shirts In full: Thanks to all marshalls were great friendly encouraging and must have been frozen so a great big thanks to them all Loads of water stations on the down side as a slow runner did not get a t shirt at the finish only a small stress ball after running up and down those hills wasnt at all stressed VERY dissapointed everyone should be treated the same we all pay the same money No entries on the day so you know how many runners have entered enough T Shirts should have been supplied.
