In short: ive had better
In full: after the 20 min delay and the boring (and frankly lazy) route selection i get to the end to find the promised t-shirts were only in kids sizes (i didnt see many five year olds on the course). other than that the water stations were good and frequent and the atostphere was good.

In short: mountain goats would struggle
In full: never done a race over 13 miles before and i dont think this one was designed for novice long distance runners. challenging is not the word but very happy with my time. More of a race to trin for than a marathon trainer i think maybe i will do some more hills before trying it again

In short: good route but a bit flat, well organized although seemed a bit swamped by the amount of people who turned up . well worth turning up for though.
