In short: charity yes............cheap water bottle NO!!
In full: third time of running this and it never gets any easier but the momentos get worse - i get its for charity but this isnt a cheap race and the water is a real let down after a 20m slog - a medal or a t shirt would have been better

In full: my second GNR and even managed a PB!!
as others as said the starting pens were crowded and I had to forced my way in but other than that everything was clockwork - was lucky enough to have a VIP pass to get to see and meet the elites and celebs at the end - well worth the trip from essex!
