In short: Great local run - could do with medal to top it offf...
In full: First time doing Lethbridge, and will certainly do it again. I know few people have gripes about start times, but its minor considering how everything else went really well. For e.g. starting pretty much on time depsite the torrential downpour (organisers of Bath HM take note). Great atmosphere and great PB potential.

In short: a very good low key mid week event start a nightmare
In full: a very good low key mid week event start a nightmare signs should of been posted to keep the slow ones at the back and the fast ones at the front but other than that a good race

In short: cramped at the start but otherwise excellent - special thanks to all the marshalls who bravded the rain but kept smiling .
In full: The start was a little cramped, quess this cannot be helped because of the new course, but the start line should have been more obvious. Other than that the course and organisation was excellent. The marshalls in particular were brilliant, everyone with a word of encouragement - thank you.

In short: Good race over a new course
In full: Had a mare with my Garmin due to the rain, but managed to go sub 40 for the first time. It was a bit confusing at the start but no concerns once you got going and well marshalled.

In short: Great new course (apart from the start) - well done to the Friends of Lethbridge!
In full: Great race despite the rain. Marshalls were excellent. Only criticism is the narrow start - shame we weren't under the bridge when the heavens opened!!

In short: Start was a disaster, but still a very enjoyable run
In full: To be fair to the organisers, the route had to be re-designed due to a motorway bridge no longer being in existence, meaning the start line had to be moved forward.

Unfortunately this meant the start was very crowded and congested, and judging by my offical time vs my watch time meant it took about a minute to cross the line (although I couldn't make out precisely where this was)! It also meant I was unable to get any speed or momentum in the first kilometre, which should have been faster as it was downhill.

These problems notwithstanding, a very enjoyable midweek run and I agree with one of my club members that the new course is an improvement with more twists and turns.

Full credit to the organisers as well for providing a useful and interesting memento in the form of a kit bag, which makes a change from yet another t-shirt or medal!

In short: organisers please inform the marshalls.!!!
In full: Marshalls at the start were uninformative, not knowing where the start was.
