In short: Fog didnt help but the organisation was a bit flaky
In full: Never seen a finish quite like it . Cars parked made it very narrow and runners competing with cars buses etc made it less than safe. 90 degree bend 25 yards from finish

In short: fog and hills
In full: I don't like hills. I can't run up them fast enough. I want to do better on hills so entered this one to gain more hill time. With a Fetch hill score of 204 (105m up/91m down) this one had enough hills for me.
At £10 is race is at the bottom end of the entry fee scale, impressive given chip timing and tshirt (cotton not technical).
Marshals where you need them and 1 water stop(cup-so had to slow to drink).
A row of portable toilets helped keep the queue short).
Parking was mainly on side roads and on the main road where, it turned out, we had the finish.This caused a few problems with cars trying to get through a narrowed road whilst runners were 2/3/4 abreast running for the line. A bit of a shame that the finish has a slowing left hand 90 degree corner 20 metres before the chip tunnel.
