In short: Another great Bupa race
In full: Around the beautiful Holyrood park, about 1/2 of the race is a challenging hill, so a PB is not very likely. As with every Bupa Great Run, it was quite pricey, but very well organised with a great atmosphere.

In short: one big hill
In full: a 1 lap course round holyrood park. straight up for 1.5 miles then back down the other side again. well worth the trip but forget about a new p.b. as always on the great run events - a great goody bag. prob do it next year as its very close to town to keep the wife happy. :)
