In short: good friendly marshals, very encouraging.
In full: bit slippy on the towpath, although scenery makes up for it. I previously did this in opposite direction, but prefer it this way, look forward to next year.

In short: nice run in the countryside
In full: nice race mostly traffic free, through countryside, slightly hilly, felt water stations were too far spread out, weather very hot, addition of some sponges would have helped.

In short: very low key run
