In short: Fantasic, fantastic, fantastic
In full: What an amazing challenge, both mentally and physically. The course was very, very hard. Long hills going up, steep hills going down, all coupled with challenging terrain.
The atmosphere was great. Managed to pass the time of day with other runners which I've rarley done in other races. Marshals all really friendly indeed.
Had no problems at all with route sign-posting.
I wish I had done a lot more hill training rather than speed training, and can't wait to train for next years with this in mind.
I feel than beginners need not avoid this race - it is hard, but it's friendly and there were runners of all levels.
Many thanks to all envolved - will be back next year (with some serious hill training behind me!)

In short: Not as hilly as imagined
In full: Don Valley Stadium - great! Atmosphere in places was unrivaled. Hills not as bad as I thougth they were going to be - still managed a PB. Mile markers random when I did manage to spot them! Drinks in cups - never a good idea. Marshalls all really friendly. Overall - great race, will travel up from Hampshire next year too!
