In short: Just what my running mojo needed
In full: Great race, from start to finish. Hard course but that's what's so awesome about the race. Along with a real bond between the competitors who all look out and encourage one another.

Superb medal, t-shirt and paperweight. Not to forget the full English breakfast afterward.

From the parking through to leaving the race venue, it was well organised.

A truly unique race.

In short: Weather didn't play the game, but great race otherwise.
In full: I really felt for the organisers. Terrible muddy, wet and windy conditions but the areas they could control were great. Would have liked to have seen more signs pointing out the car parks but that's my only fault. Great marshalls and loads of them. Great crowd support considering the conditions. Thanks!

In short: Amazing marshalls, good vibe, well organised
In full: The only gripe I have is lack of toilets. This seems to be a common problem with most UK races.

Otherwise, AWESOME race. Thank you SO much to the marshalls, always smiling and encouraging us along. Not the flatest course but really enjoyed it.

In short: Disorganised. Not worth the £20 entry...
In full: For a race that had 4500 people running, there were 6 porta-loos at the start. Ridiculus! Only saw a mile marker at mile 4 and then it was pot luck spotting another one. First water station was an utter shambles. Marshals did an awesome job as did bag handlers, unless your number was 1000 - 1999, longest queue ever. One positive was the goodie bag.

In short: Lovely traffic free route but need attention to detail
In full: Toilets ran out of toilet paper! This is such an easy thing to sort out and so many races fail to monitor the situation.
Watering tables only had water. Thanks so much to the volunteers handing it out.
