In short: Well organised race
In full: I feel that some of the other comments are unfair. Please remember that this is a charity race.
I think this race offers value for money and was well organised. It is flat and offers a good route for beginners as well as club runners.
There were plenty of toilets including urinals for men and they were 800m from the start, which is not too far!
As improvements I would suggest an earlier start and not giving water out 800m after the start. This is probably the reason along with some people taking more than 1 bottle that there was no water at the finish.
The medals and chip timing were a good idea. And the BBQ, tea/coffee and ice cream van was a nice touch.
We will be back next year.
