In short: Fantastic in everyway as always - not a PB course, just do it every Year and compare each Year.
In full: Fantastic as always - not a PB course, just do it every Year and compare each Year. Organisers please don't change route for 2007. All other organisers note Plymouth allow number exchange with small charge going to charity!!! -follow their lead for happy runners and a full start - unlike Bath's 10000 places sold out but only 6000 starters.

In short: Brilliant organisation and large supportive crowds.
In full: Even better than last year! Biggest crowds that I have seen, especially through Saltram and going up to Hoe, where you really need support! Got a PB, but very tired at end. Good challenging course. Would reccomend it to anyone.

In short: large race with a small race feel
In full: fantasic organisation, setting and crowds. really like the runners only area at the finish where you can have your refreshments away from crowds of non runners. A tough course going up through Saltram Park as is the last mile or so up from the Barbican.
Where do I sign up for next year?

In short: I loved it all, except the guy who informed us that drinks were round the corner.... only another mile!
In full: a super event, once again. pity that the gun time placings meant that although you had a chip, you were penalized for being in the correct start box. As I took 4 min to cross to the start,I only ended up in 9th in my age group, when I wasn't by chip time.
Maybe the really slow ones who were definitely in the wrong places could be made to start at the back!
