In short: Aside from the appaling weather, this was a very enjoyable race. My first 10 mile but ran faster than I'd hoped. Fantastic atmosphere.

In short: Excellent for a first time race, but please no mud next year!
In full: Excellent organisation, great day out, nice scenery along seafront and through dockyard. Plenty of club runners, fun runners, charity runners etc.

Please don't divert us onto the mud after the finish next year though!
