In short: Amatuer organisation and administration, route OK, runners and marshalls OK, directions by car to venue were very poor. Chip timer not adequately explained, finish poorly laid out. Not enjoyable.
In full: Directions poor, Jnc 38 of M1 DOES NOT SIGNPOST Haigh, I saw Barnsley exit which is wrong, should be Wolley, got lost, late, infuriating!!!!!! That is shockingly bad htey don't know or test their own directions by car. What changing facility - shool gym changing rooms locked so good job I'd put my shorts on at home. Marshalls good to be fair. Atmosphere OK, chip thing MUST be on ankle rather than should be, I didn't know, wore on my wrist then hey presto not logged and I don't appear on results!! Angry or what. Then their website is awful, no easy or abvious way to e-mail complaints or feedback, Thanks vey miuch Runners World for having this facility. Get my say. Cost inconsistent on your website, says £4 for affliated, I paid them £6.50 direct, shouldn't it be the other way round? The finish was very poorly laid out, big school playing field and they position everything together, sensible person would allow long queue space to collect drinks then T-shirts rather than the amatuer organisation they had. Laughable.
