In short: a little gem of a race
In full: I am SO glad this didnt clash with liverpool this year
Top organisation with parking snd enough toilets and an organised covered village
Totally closed roads, well stocked aid stations(properly laid out in a line with a bin at the end to get rid of rubbish-shame some of the runners chose to ignore that)
You can get a good time here but even a six hour marathoner got a big cheer acrosss the finish line!
Loved the racecourse finish, love the medal and the long sleeved techy T shirt
Will be back!
thank you Andy and Chris!

In full: fast definite pb course and i loved seeing the faster runners loop back past us.The scenery doesnt matter when you have pb potential like this
Only gripe was that it was very cold and i would have liked to have been inside a building, not a tent at the start and finish

In short: Potentially a good race, but organisational glitches ratehr spoiled it
In full: Unmanned water station at mile 3-crosooing a main road and having to pull own water out of a plastic pack wasnt the best.The finish was a bit of a shambles too, much crossing of roads and dodging cars
