In short: nice course, but facilities could be better!
In full: This is a really nice race, nice low key atmosphere, flat PB worthy course, with loads of good intentions, but seriously, it's February, it's cold and there is no bag storage!! With this one little tweak I would do this race again.

In short: Really good fun, if slightly surreal.
In full: Well organised fun event for all abilities. I guess if you were deadly serious you could attempt a PB but its not really what its about - careering round the park with 2,000+ Santas is a fabulous way to kick off the festive season - shall be back next year!

In short: Lovely route, great race but bag drop needs rethinking
In full: This was a very enjoyable race, and i'd definately do it again, though the bag drop was most odd. Not sure why they've deviated from the norm in terms of different numbers with wristbands when we're all wearing unique numbers already!! Also the freebies at the end were a bit thin on the ground by the time some of us slower types had finished - but love the idea of filling your own bag. Don't often get marmite on toast after a race!

In short: Great day, superb course, outstanding organisation - i'll be back next year.
In full: With the only minor exception of the slightly over-the-top nine wave start, there isn't anything else I could find fault with here. From the baggage storage, to the toilets, to the mini ramps at the end where your tags were removed, the whole thing was designed to make runners life easy so all we had to focus on was the running. Already booked in for next year!!
