In short: First running in Blackpool. Very well orgainsed race round a virtually dead falt two lap course with no traffic. Only gripe is the provision of only one drink station.

In short: Good potential, but 6 miles of looking at rock & sand, and 6 miles of looking at grass, with only one water station and a strong wind to sap you.
