In short: great i loved it
In full: Atmosphere and crowd were great. I managed to get the bus in, signposting would have been a good idea. Really liked the course and was great watching the elite men go past in the opposite direction. Didn't get a keyring. If they are going to do staggered starts gun time should reflect the different start time. I know it's chip timed but places go according to gun time. look forward to next year.

In short: well organised race
In full: really enjoyed this one first distance race after a long break for injury, crowd really helped get me round. Would've liked a t-shirt though, car to far away to go and get some money.

In full: I understand the race was shortened because of ice, the organisers are hoping to put the exact distance along with times on the website. I got a brass even though I entered on the day.
