In short: Could have been better
In full: It's been my third one and regretably the worst one. City centre start / finish is nice but does not cater for this number of people. Congestion at the start and (for those finishing in 2hrs+) at the finish.
People were queing to finish line. Reversing the start would be good idea and then come back the same way. Don't realy know what was that about with going forth, back and left, right just before Hagley road?
Some complain about mile 10 -12 hills? I think these were not that bad.
Anyway, decent medal to tell the grandkids about.
I will give it a try next year but I expect city council to listen to runners suggestions. I am going to send them an email but they are not too good in sending rsponses.
If it doesn't improve next year I will not attempt any more. Sad but true.

In short: Great weather, nice route but challenging in places
In full: Set off too fast and started to struggle in the last mile or so. Two or three really challenging hills.
Friendly family run - I have ran it with my 8 years old son and he finished first ;-)
Will do it again just to challenge the hills again.
