In full: My third time back at Freckleton and it's an excellent event. Fantastic organisation and a lovely course on roads that are well marshalled.
Great commentary and there's always a nice souvenir too. It's one to bring the family too - entertainment and stalls laid on.
I can't wait for the 50th running next year.

In short: Superb Event
In full: First time at Freckleton and really impressed. Good course (not quite as flat as I had been told) and really good support. My only minor criticism was the trainer bag as a finishing momento which was different but a bit disappointing. A great run and even the sun popped out.

In full: I have done this run for a number of years now, always well organised, flat course so good for PB although last 4 miles back down the main road from Lytham are a bit of a slog.... Weather always sunny but can get a bit breezy!

In short: Great race with fantastic local support
In full: First half for two years and a great experience. Marshals were excellent dealing with some tricky road junctions and local support especially the last bit through the village was really uplifting - definitely gave me a boost for the last mile or so. Good facilities - showers at the end v welcome as it was a hot day. Loved the boot bag memento. Will be very useful. One for the list for next year.
