In short: Good to do every year, nice mix of people.
In full: Constructive feedback: 1) A marshal @ originally published start location would have helped many people, & so would an email; 2)Delaying the start for toilets OK (weather was OK and I carry spare fat) but runners needed more toilets; 3)An excellent PB course so with the 2000 field now needs predicted time slots so that all can achieve their best; 4)loved the banana and star fruit drink; 5) excellent day thankyou.

In short: Very quick course and good mix of people running
In full: Really enjoyed the race and knocked two minutes of my PB which maybe makes me a tad biased. Only thing I'd change is banding at the start, was very slow getting away and spent the first 2km passing slower runners.

In short: Good race. Flat, traffic-free course.
In full: Nice smallish race. Right number of people for size of paths. All contained in park, but means about 2.25 laps. Organisation somewhat poor. There were about 10 of us standing at the published (map in racepack) start line with 10 mins til start ... walked the 1km over to HQ to find the start had moved - no race official at published start to tell us ! Would run again (as it is my local).

In short: Big turnout & fast flat race
In full: Start was delayed a few minutes because of queues for the loos! A bit annoying as it was not warm. Race was good and fast. Goodie bag at the end was generous - was impressed by the "Re-bar" - try one if you haven't yet!
