In short: Why do all the slow runners start at the front and not where their expected time was too much dodging walkers after only 5 minutes!
In full: I was really looking forward to this but was amazed at how badly organised things were right from the start with the baggage buses.
Really difficult to find family at the end and nearly falling head lond down the bank where they were waiting. And back to the baggage buses too far away from the finish.
Come on GNR you can do better than this, i know it is twice the size of the London Marathon but take a look at them and steal a few ideas!!
The atmosphere was created by us runners would be nice to see a few more locals cheering us hope.
See you next year!!!
