In full: This years changes including the chip timing really worked. Everything about the race makes it a fantastic event what ever the weather. Spectators can see the runners several times without going very far, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. This is a great race to start on the road to the London Marathon and I shall be back in 2010 with more rookey runners.

In full: Flat (apart from the railway bridge at 12.5 miles - who put that there ?!), great weather, nice town and easy to get to.
Also G(w)lad to see that Wales won the rugby in the afternoon, so a near perfect day.
