In short: overall great event but could maybe do with some minor tweaking
In full: Caterers ready from 8AM would have been good, there were enough toilets but not All signed. Hot showers definite plus for a race of this size. The narrowness of the start means a lot of congestion, maybe a time zoned holding area with a final walk to the start would work? Well done to the organisers for laying on such glorious weather. Marshalling was superb. Great event

In short: parking a problem otherwise very good race hq
In full: The parking was a good trek with the obvious disadvantage of a field in the prevailing weather. Showers for that size race was a definite plus. Marshalling very good, HQ well organised with plenty of loos.

In short: overall good, but pricey and slightly under distance
In full: The race distance is short of 9 miles, probably 500 metres and the parking of race support vehicles 30 metres after the start meant the bulk of runners were immediately slowed to a walk as the road width start abruptly narrowed, otherwise very well organised race and venue( 4 minute jog from home!!)
