In short: Don't travel to this
In full: I travelled over an hour for the race. It was clear from number pick up that £20 entry was OTT and the large differential in price between the 5k, 10k and half is very difficult to understand. The marshals were interested in marshalling - I pointed to a pair of disinterested marshals that one runner had taken a wrong turn but they didn't even bother to shout her back. And the child marshals at the water table - well, I'm used to someone handing me a cup of water... needless to say that wasn't part of their job description. Medal particularly poor - in fact insulting for 20 quid - and no sports drinks at the end... then again if the aim is profiteering they did that particularly well. Quite easily the worst half I've ever attended and I would urge others not to bother supporting this organisation.
