In short: OK with scope for improvement
In full: Improvement might come by involving help from a
running club. Fast, flat course. Be careful who you let have the megaphone. Did not think it was short (if it was it was marginal)
as I run 37-38 mins for 10K and this was bang in the middle for me.

In short: Interesting kilometer markings!
In full: Badly organised, not enough toilets and kilometer markers inaccurate - took me anything between 4.5 and 8 minutes to run a kilometer, but at least the last one to the finish was short! Probably would run it again as I enjoy running round Battersea Park, I don't find the laps a problem and it's close to home.

In short: All good except the baggage collection became a bit of a free-for-all, which isn't very secure.

In short: Great cause, I'll continue to support PPUK, Not a very inspiraitonal start to the race! Could do with some more organisation next year, with more toilets!

In short: great fun, friendly people - well worth it!
In full: It was a fun race to do- great atmosphere and it felt quite sociable. I also liked the fact it was in aid of such a great charity and it felt as though there was a personal touch about it. So what if you had to queue for the toilets- it's the taking part and the difference it makes that matters!

In short: Organisation on the day left a little to be desired, although a pretty enjoyable event.
In full: A good race for more competitive runners though little in the way of inspiration for 'fun runners'. These sorts of events are all about raising the profile of diseases and securing much-needed funds. On the day, though, people seemed to care little for the reason they were running. Most were out for personal bests, rather than supporting a worthy cause. Perhaps more enthusiasm from the organisers might have added atmosphere and given more purpose to the occasion.
