In short: Nice home race
In full: Good race with challenging course taking in all the best bits of MK, good marshalling for number of runners.
Too cramped at start and slow but thins out.
Still find it strange how such a big race never quite pulls off the big race atmosphere. No massage which was a shame, they usually have this. Organisation was better with a lot of last years problems sorted out.

In short: Nice mix of city + rural - shows Milton Keynes in new light - well organised, good fun
In full: Cold and wet 1 hour before the start - didn't look good - but plenty of places to shelter in until 5 minutes before the start - including a massive Wetherspoons. First few miles quite difficult to run even pace due to back-markers, but thereafter a varied course, initial city roads leading to country pubs and big Willen Lake half way round. Very well marshalled, no complaints over goody bag, plenty of free parking - this overall was a credit to the organisers. Congratulations to all concerned, and all runners.
