In short: Well organised, very fast, scenic with a great atmosphere!
In full: I dont know where to start really. Great organisation: they allowed me to race with someone else's number once i had passed them my details (I traded her number for a new one.) lots of running companies around the start and finish with discounted products - i got a free Asics towel for wearing that brand of trainers. Good atmosphere in the club house changing rooms before and after. As to the race itself, I was wondering why it was renowned as being so fast until I came into the home straight and had smashed my PB (set a month earlier) by four minutes... Overall a cracking race which explains why its so oversubscribed - book your number early!!!

In short: Too many water stations near the end made it a bit slow going through bodies and litter!! Directions back to the start for non locals would also have helped, but great finish!!

In short: Much hype about it being a race not a run not endearing to hobby runners. Organisation at finish chaotic the worst Ive ever experienced.
