In short: Not Much Fun
In full: An OK race , but felt that runners were there as an after thought . 18 tough miles , the markers while there , totaaly incorrect , then they stopped. Route marking towards the end almost did not exist.

So ! other than giving money to a great charity , not a great day out !

In short: What a Shame
In full: What a mess , the start was poor ,"NO BAG DROP" the course it's self was okay, the finish was a joke . I tried to run on the path just to the right of shingle at the finish and was directed back onto the shingle.

I dont mind paying for races and understand that the organisers work long and hard to make it happen and for this we thank you.

This race however had the feeling of total lack of care for runners .Will I be back next year maybe but maybe not !!
