In short: Once again the organisers managed to spoil a great event. Every year they find new ways of cocking things up. What is it going to be this year. My money is on these ChampionChips not working!

In short: Oh dear, chaos trying to get into the car park, start delayed by 30 minutes, and completety useless funnel finish system again. A great race ruined again by very poor organisation. And no team prizes.

In short: Great atmospheric race, with definite PB potential. Attracts lots of people that would not enter your average local 10K. However the organisation is horrendous.

In short: The medals were a way from the finish. It was easy to forget to pick one up! I had to stop before the finish because the funnels were queuing back. I couldn't do my normal sprint finish.Sorry to gripe but the parking arrangements were appalling.
