In short: Great race for all standards. Welcome addition to the racing calendar.
In full: Something for everybody - Very quick at the front with good prize money, but plenty of unattached and first-timers. Good tee-shirt AND a medal at the end (plus bottle of water and ceral bar). I am sure the entries will increase next year when word gets round.

In short: Good marshalling and traffic control, shame about the cold wait for medal and t-shirt. The cold and windy harbour part made you grit your teeth a bit.

In short: Excellent race
In full: Congratulations to organiser. Shame about the biting wind by the harbour front but not much can be done about that! Queue for T-shirts a bit long in the cold. A v minor niggle: online results not 100% eg at least 2 men down as women.

In short: A very nice scenic route along the harbour. However, the wind and cold made it much harder.
In full: A good race but the wind really effected my running along the harbour a mile into the race. Made it very difficult to get a P.B result. Well organised, very nice momento's at the end although the que seemed to be a bit annoying especially with the weather. Would make a good 5k race in the summer rather than the winter!! All in all though i'm glad I ran it, should be back next year.

In short: Not the best race I've ever been to, could put a beginner off
In full: It was extremely cold and windy, especially running into the wind along the harbourfront and the finish got very congested with a 15 minute wait from the line to leaving. However, the medal and t-shirt were nice memento's. Definitely needed someone waiting with warm clothes as I got frozen waiting to get out of the exit queue.
