Just to make a point woodley, might help for next year, I've run quite a fee events now and just my thoughts
Pro
- Free Tea / Coffee for runners
- Goody bag with choc. bar, apple, lucozade and medal
- Relatively good mashalling - Had to dodge a few cars out of turnings
Cons
- Lack of start line organisation, had runners come up and ask me where start line was
- Mass wide start line leading towards bottleneck
- Some really, really narrow pavements
- Was shunted into the (not closed) road by a stupidly placed water station
And a late start! It's an 11am start which gives plenty of time, we could have gained a few minutes by not having some insanely bouncy personal trainer leading everyone through a strange warm-up (but I'm personally against mass warm ups - you're about to run 10km quickly - preserve all the energy you can, just stretch out)
