In short: Flat two lap course around the streets and pathways of WGC - good training run for a 1/2 marathon? Probably should rate the course as pure speed, winner smashed course record this year, 49 mins and ?? secs.

In short: The 2 lap course means you endure the boring views of houses and industrial estates twice over. But the mostly flat course is good for first timers and PB's.

In short: Fellow runners and stewards (except the one at 6 miles that refused a second cup of water) were helpful & friendly.

In short: Excellent organisation both before and after the race. Only 2 issues - dangerous tree roots making the pavements uneven (saw at least 1 faller) and no T-shirts as advertised
