In short: Used to be much better
In full: I've run this for the past 5 years and have to say that this year has let the race down. The car park was changed and didn't match the directions given leading to long queues on the way in, not enough marshalls around the course, the ending was a shambles as everyone was left standing around qaiting to collect a bottle of water/medal from a couple of people handing them out and the queues to get out of teh car park were terrible. This usedto be a really nice race but I guess the organisers have tried to grow it too quickly!

In short: Cold, torrents of rain, nasty last couple of miles.....and brilliant
In full: It is busy and the wave start could be better for the faster runners but this is a truly GREAT race and the crowds are always brilliant. Anyone who bothers to read the info shouldn't complain about the parking at the common as it does state that there will be long delays - park in the city instead. The big notice that there were showers to cool runners down at mile 7 made me smile!

In short: Lots of hills in beautiful scenery and a finish line which seems a hell of a lot nearer than it is.
