In short: mud mud and more mud
In full: done 40 marathons and never ever ran in
conditions like this ! not experienced
running like this since being at school
and had to pay to do it. to be fair the
marshalls were numerous and very good at
times but to be honest I thought this
run was dangerous in places and was pleased
to finish with both trainers still on.
also, the worst "prize" I have received
on any run which would have been thrown away
but had to keep it out of novelty value.
I think the spelling is wrong, am I the only
one to notice this ? uffmoor/uffmore, you decide.

In short: very well organised, great marshalling.
In full: ok, the scenery on this run is nothing to right home about but the marshalling all the way round was in my opinion top class.
flat course so pb's very possible and an excellent start/finish area. plenty of nice touches to the day and a lovely cup of tea and some biscuits at the finish.
massive thank-you and congratulations to
EVERYONE who made this event so worthwhile.
marshalls, you were fantastic.

In short: what a disastrous start/finish
In full: good news-now a decent medal and t'shirt.
bad news-chaotic start !
firstly, why change the start procedure from
previous years on the road outside west park ?
if runners can run on this road in the race then why cant we start here. the top end runners were made to run around much slower relay runners and weave in and out to run at their pace. with the amount of runners involved starting areas based on predicted times would be useful. also, on the second lap of the marathon cars are too close to the
runners. after over 20 miles dont really like cars within a metre of me !!
being a local lad, will always support my local marathon BUT simple improvements are
needed.
to close, thanks to the marshalls who were
very supportive-it is appreciated.

In short: glad it was calm and dry.
