In short: Good Race worth doing for a quick time
In full: Very good value for money, fairly surprised about a few "little" climbs but mainly a very flat course definatly PB course, I managed to break a 4 year old PB finally.
Shutting the main road off in Blackpool should be applauded as this must of took some doing main races would just shut one lane of, or put you on the pavement. People who moan about the scenery would probably moan about the scenery in New York, Antigua, Austrailer,etc. At the end of the day you ran down past the Tower, down towards the Pleasure Beach and up to north Blackpool and back along the sea wall, don't get hung up on areas where support was sparce, how many people do you normally get on training runs??? just get through it and feed off the crowd where they are...

Very Good Race, see you next year!!!

P.S - Struggling to see Photos...

In short: Ending was a bit unclear, where to finish, as a number of people i know stopped before the "finish" line, and why must this race start late every year??
