In short: Superb location but......and there are a few
In full: I know it was the first running of this race so I do hope you take on board some of the comments via their feedback and those posted on the Runners Would web page
1 No Route map displayed before race
2 Start/Finish banner around the wrong way (surely they did not do it that way just for finish photo) Some people did run across the final part the wrong way because the saw 'Finish' and just headed for that
3 Lack of marshalls on the course.
4 Goody bag did not live up to what one was led to believe, I added up the parts and even including £4.30 for a out of date magazine I could not make it add up to £25.
5 No drinks station at finish, not everyone like the chocolate shake after a race
6 No age group prizes with that number of sponsors you must have been able to afford it
7 Race fee far to high for a 10k race I was only tempted by the course which had to be good in that location - 700 runners at £20 =£14000 nice little earner!
As a race dirctor my self I do know what's involed
WAS THIS JUST A MONEY MAKING EXERCISE ! (sorry about the pun)
