ET we will both be there on the day.

You will recognise us as because of all the times we have taken your time or number before.

Well, I`m back in Sheffield now and it was well worth the trip. I enjoyed the race despite the congested start and well done to Red Rose Runners and all the other folk who helped!

I thoroughly enjoyed the race, only real critism would be the congested start along the narrow paths. But very well ran and good marshalling.Well done Red Rose Runners

You have to bear in mind that the course was only designed for 500 entries but, due to demand, the organisers allowed more entries into the race (nearly 860 in the end). As 85% of entrants turned up, that's what caused the congestion although if people had actually started in a place appropriate for their likely pace, that might have helped a bit.

very true. i started a few yards back from the `elite` pen and was weaving in and out of plodders for the first k. happy with 21.24 for my first 5 k though!
