In short: A well organised run, great finish with a big crowd to cheer you home.
In full: Overall, a really good race, I would definitely recommend it to others of all levels. For me, the only downside was the marshalls along the route, they didn't seem to realise they were there to encourage those in need, they were just standing there with their headphones on or on their phones, I think they were just paid help. Great atmosphere at the start/finish though, with a zumba warm up, music, tombola, food and ice cream vans!

In short: Fun and flat - helped by the glorious weather
In full: This was a great event. There was a bit of a scrum at the start, which would have been helped by organising runners/walkers into separated groups at the very least. Long queues for the loos at the start meant I missed the group warm up - a shame because it looked like fun! Otherwise though, it was great. The scenery is beautiful (and helped out by the sunshine!) Plentiful water stations, lots of support on the course, pretty much flat all the way round (apart from a couple of small bridges) and nice goody-bag with snacks in. I really enjoyed this race.
