In short: VERY poorly organised
In full: I entered not having read reviews of previous events by this company.

My mistake!

The pre start organisation was so awful that the advertised warm up was cancelled without an announcement being made. I warmed up independently but loads of people didn’t. The temp was about 6 or 7 degrees with a cold NE wind. The organisers put runners at risk of injury as a result of their inept management on the day.

I could write more but it’s all been covered in other reviews but the risk of injury alone should be enough to tell you NOT to enter any event run by Energized Sports. I certainly won’t be repeating my mistake.
