In short: very nice run, but only a mug!!
In full: for the entry fee i would have liked something more than a mug that doesn't even say whether i ran 8.2 or 16 miles. a good race otherwise as the atmosphere was friendly.

In short: Much improved
In full: Having done the Breakfast Run earlier in the year I am appeased with how the organisers have polished this up.
Chip timing and just two starts has seemingly made the world of difference to the results.
Nice and early and you have the rest of the day ahead afterwards, lovely local route, fast course, well marshalled and organised and I enjoyed it.
Can't say I didn't feel a little let down with just a mug and a lucozade at the finish but I knew what to expect so can't complain.
Nice run for my training schedule.
