In short: A nice off road route
In full:
I found the route interesting and found the start in the stadium was a nice touch.
Out on the main course it was crowded in place and some of the lady marshals really enjoyed shouting “mind the bollards” perhaps a little too much!

In short: Fast & flat
In full: Bit of a contrived course, but not a hill in sight so PB potential. Start and finish on track always good, particularly with motivation from the commentator. Km markers did not seem accurate.........oherwise my pace was varying by 40 secs a Km! Well organised race.

In short: Flat, but measured a little long and congestion seems to prevent PBs.
In full: Congested in places, all off the road, which is great, but 2 laps of pretty dull scenery. I measured this about 300m long, other runners felt distance was inaccurate too. Well organised though and a friendly evening. Many more signs at the entrance and surrounding roads would have helped. I lived in Portsmouth for years but got lost trying to get into the stadium through the new entrance.
