In full: Thank you to all who put in the time to organise this incredible event. Never thought I could run a marathon of hills, hills and more hills. A brilliant event, yes the traffic wasn't ideal on the home straight, but by then was just elated to finish it. Amazing support, feed stations spot on, toilets well positioned for sneaky pee, the medal, tee shirt, free cuppa and bacon roll topped a great Sunday. Thank you!
