In short: could be good if someone could organise it and the marshalling better
In full: to allow people to run 50% more than is advertised is criminal... and a little bit funny depending on how you were approaching the race!!

In short: Great Value for Money Excellent Goodies but spoilt by the woeful marshalling!!
In full: Ended up Running 4.6 Miles. At the head of the field there was much confusion as no-one new where they were going until well after half way! great value for money and enjoyed the lap round Stadium MK!

In short: Excellent event - but to be treated as training event
In full: Good event, medal tee and Match ticket. OK a problem on the course meant did 4.6 miles but otherwise a good start - hope they do it again
