In short: Generally well organised race.
In full: Start a bit chaotic but race generally well sign posted and well organised.
Fairly hilly in places - but it is Bolton, so what do you expect.
Would do this one again and a good warm up for the Great Manchester Run, surprised more people did not enter.

In short: Got a PB so of course I'm going to be positive about this race!
In full: Great camararderie amongst the runners! A real mix of people who knew they were getting home in half an hour and those who just hoped they got home! Scenery is not something you would shout about, but it's a good race with not too many scary inclines, and you've a good chance of achieving that PB.
