In short: Where was the official start line? Be aware of the cars on un-marshalled roads/junction.
In full: Overall a fantastic race with great PB potential - that's where I got mine! Nice atmosphere with plently of water stations, shame the start line wasn't made clearer and that the roads weren't as busy. Keep an eye out for in considerate residents reversing out of drive ways!

In short: Where were the mile markers??!! I only saw them at 3, 10, and 12 miles which made pacing even miore difficult. Not very scenic but the start and finish at the stadium was nice and atmospheric.

In short: Great flat course with a nice scenic route downhill through Redcar and along the front. Not too windy either so didn't get sand-blasted!!

In short: Excellent, well organised race with supportive marshalls and nice refreshments at the end. Hillier than expected, but well worth it.

In short: The marshalls weren't at all enthusiatic or supportive- they generally kept their attention in directing the runners through the back streets of Wombell and minding the unusually high amounts of traffic during a race. The building with the facilities
