In short: Good run, friendly, well marshalled although no distance markers and a challenging hill
In full: Big hill at 3Ks was as bad as I was led to believe - but doesnt go on that long and it doesnt take long to walk (which I did!). Lots of friendly marshalls and police cover, even on the open roads the junctions were marshalled. Friendly atmosphere, although it was very hot today there was plenty of water at the halfway station, even though I was almost at the back.

Nice goody bag too :)

Only negative comment (other than the weather!) was that there seemed to be a lack of distance markers on the course.

Good beginner race, despite the course which is NOT flat, I will be back :)

In short: Good first time race
In full: First race - plenty of people but not crowded, plenty of space (especially at the back). Flat course, friendly marshals
