In short: Another great Purple Patch race
In full: Fair shout about having to wait for the baggage but some of these other comments are madness. If every body waits until the very last minute to drop their bag or go to the toilet then of course there are going to be queues and yes in November running along a tow path there is going to be a little mud. I have done numerous PP events and they are always well organised. Had a great run, fantastic scenery, good cheery marshals, and a mention on the tannoy as I crossed the line - no PB but will be back next year.

In short: Beautiful riverside run
In full: Great race - too wet last year too hot this year. There was water at the last station when I went past but runners were taking two or three bottles to pour overthemselves which is probably why they ran out. Great race and will be back next year on the return run to Windsor.
