In short: Great race, great marshalls and loved the picnic in the goody bag!
In full: Really friendly race - marshalls encouraging all the way round - managed only 3 laps due to a lack of training over the summer, making it a great race if you want to give it a go! Recommended.

In short: Worth muddying your trainers for..
In full: VERY friendly and enthusiastic organisers really brought this race to life. The grass and pavment course mix was fine as the course was pancake like in its flatness and 6 laps meant it was good for pacing. I was not sure of the actual course distance though 13.1 or 13.5 miles?

In short: Come And Meet The Cheerful Londoners At The Hackney Marshes HM
In full: The best thing about this race was the people who organized it. I appreciated the little touches such as the lady who went around to have a chat with everyone before the race and the oncourse encouragement. I don't think the course has pb potential because its multi terrain nature works against fast, effficient running. Nevertheless, it comes highly recommended.

In short: As everyone else, great marshalls, nice flat course and the most friendly race I've entered, many other races could learn from this
In full: Nice flat course, not sure it's 13.5 miles but if it was I ran very quickly! Very beginner friendly also. Only slight gripe was not knowing where the finish was, a separate funnel would have been nice as other runners were running round me for another lap as I stopped. Excellent marshalling and it really did help you seeing the same faces each time shouting your name.
