In short: Poor organisation and very not bothered attitude!
In full: A list of the bad points:
1 Male toilet for all runers.
Cold showers after.
No medal at end - you had to pick it up off a table.
Cocked all three of our results up and I had to speak to an official to sort out results - the official was not to bothered but did eventually with a little help post the correct results.
Signage was absoloutlely crap no lap startfinish markers - if you did not use a gps you would have no idea how far you had gone!
expensive for what you got.
crap t-shirt after and no refreshments available at the end.
The finish was poor and it was miles back to the centre and no shelter for those waiting for the shuttle bus, if it had been raining it would have been bad.
GOOD POINTS:
good visible medical cover - well done.
lots of parking on site at the start.
good marshals in most places - well done.

Poor overall really who thought that marking the 50k in miles and the 26.2 in Km was a good idea????

Not one i will do again - I only did it to pace someone.
