In short: good organisation
In full: Well organised, everything seemed to have been thought of.
Nice stadium start and finish and also good for spectators who could see you running past the back of the stadium on the first two laps.

Not great scenery, but it was what I expected.


Well done to the organisers.

In short: Very tough run and very windy.
In full: The marshalls were terrific, friendly and very encouraging. When I asked at the water station at 6 miles if the run got any easier, the marshall just smiled sympathetically. I then turned the next corner to face the hardest climb in the race!
Overall a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

In short: Very friendly
In full: A really friendly atmosphere. It seemed like absolutely everyone was smiling and this makes a difference when you're running.
It was a very well organised race with a well thought out goody bag which was great value.
A nice touch was to have our names on our running numbers so the supporters could shout encouragement by name, ahich gave me ann extra lift.

I really enjoyed this race.

A really big thanks go to the organisers and all the volunteers.

Hope to run it again next year.

In short: It was a warm one!
In full: Nice and friendly, and well organised, but I think it could get a little boring for some as in essence you run around the park four times. On the other hand, it means that you know exactly how far you have to go and that you can quicken the pace for a sprint finish on the track in front of the crowds.
It was my first time and I enjoyed it.
I will run it a gain next year. (hopefully it will be a bit cooler then!)
