In short: Needs to be better organised
In full: No distance markers (despite being advertised), water point after 2.5K (approx) and then nothing for the rest of the race, race was at least 1k longer than the 10k advertised according to 2 independent GPS measurements and (as if the above wasn't enough) the GRUMPIEST marshals I have ever seen on a race - seriously, would it have killed you guys to have cracked a smile or said some words of encouragement?

Still better off than the Sunday mixed-sex race, they apparently ran out of water completely....
