In short: The hardest part is getting to the start!
In full: Another good run around Accy, but registration is too far from the start. An ankle could be easily turned trudging across the playing fields. Any chance of changing the start? Overall, though, I enjoyed it again, but someone needs to tell the slower runners not to stand at the front! No offence, we've all been there (and will be there again) but it caused bit of a bottle neck. Nice memento at the end and very smoothly marshalled around the finish line.

In short: Fast, fast, SLOOOOOOW
In full: PB for the first 3 miles and then the hard work started and never seemed to stop. Managed a PB of 51:50. Been running for 12 months and it was a pleasing finish to the end of the season. One tiny gripe - Stopped near the guy with the megaphone at the end so lost a few seconds. Hope the young lad who seemed to have gone 'too far' was okay.
