In short: Something for everyone of all levels
In full: Friendly and well organised. Good goody bag. Fairly flat. Good for beginners but also some serious runners for those seeking competition at that level.
On the downside: marhalls could do better to cheer runners on. Most were John Wayne Federal Marshalls - strong and SILENT types.

In short: Get some hill training in
In full: The rural bits had marvellous scenery. The urban bits weren't unattractive either, but their main appeal was they tended to be flatter.

In short: Easy entry, easy going atmosphere with good organisation, easy flat coursee
In full: The 9 am start was a bit too early for my liking, especially as the clocks had gone forward - I heard some runnners turned up late - but maybe the road closure would have been harder to secure at 10 am.
A little more gradient than I was expecting after I'd read the bumph but generally a flat course.

In short: Great race
In full: Even on a dull day it is a fantastic last stretch along Wallasey and into New Brighton along the Mersey, Liverpool over to the right. The tunnel itself is great and I think its enclosed space gives a sense of togetherness. (It’s not claustrophobic though and it’s free of traffic and fumes.)

Nice t shirt and medal - yellow, submarine - and goody bag in general good, too.

Not many drawbacks. There were not enough toilets at the start. I think there were more in 2007 and even then there was a fairly long queue; this time it was massive. Finally, those banners at the start for anticipated times were lacking.
