In short: Very large but well organised race - slow to start due to number of entrants, not all starting in right place.

In short: Very well organised
In full: Very happy that this year they decided to do seperate starts for runners and walkers, this has always caused problems in the past. Althought dissapointed that people ignored this and still walked amongst the runners getting in peoples way. Overall very well organised and always an enjoyable event to take part in.
