In short: A fundraiser organised by a non-runner. If you're half quick you'll spend the whole race overtaking. No cloak room.

In short: Good, fast route some of the marshalls could have been friendlier
In full: Enjoyed the run, not very many runners though. Organisation could have been better, goody bags were taken and my mum didn't receive one as she was slower than others. No-one bothered apologising at the end for this though. Couple of marshalls were too busy on their phones to direct runners.

In short: Not designed for fast runners
In full: It was badly organised, and was made for people who wanted to jog slowly around the park.

In short: Badly organised is correct
In full: I nearly got run over by a car on the first lap, where I had to navigate a roundabout and road traffic which I wasn't expecting !! absolutely outragious.
The course laps weren't marked very well and I think if you were going for a PB it would be hard as the seconds lost by near misses with cars and trying to figure out where to run would slow you down.
I paid and emailed to check that my details were registered but on the day, I turned up and they had none of my details.
Loved the Tshirt though and it wasn't a scarey protensious race, lots of different abilities and types of people running which was nice.
