In short: Thunder Run success again
In full: A weekend spent in an amount of pain, each lap finished a relief before "looking forward" to the next one. Atmosphere was great, everyone was keen that everyone else did well. And those solo runners are superb/mad. Great event

In short: Good Fun Run round the streets of London
In full: 25,000 people pounding the streets of London, with a large number of "amblers" is no place for a PB. Excellent route round London though.
The baggage area in Whitehall was badly organised, bags just left in street with no caging. The start was delayed by 15 minutes for some reason and still sang three verses of the national anthem!
These are minor (ish) gripes, especially as I found my bag.....

In short: Good Course, Organisation at the end poor
In full: A great race to get a PB (I did), very nice course. The organisation was good apart from at the end which was rather chaotic.

In short: Great course, poor organisation
In full: I like this rather undulating course through the woods and I live down the road. Disappointing chip timing (no starting mat) and the start itself is crowded. Great weather though......

In short: Nice course, but expensive
In full: A nice course for a half marathon and a pleasant venue. Unexpectedly amateurish organisation for the price though....
