In short: Great time was had - but spoilt by a criminal end
In full: 3rd time, more runners than ever, good support within the city and a more running in the parks than previously, superb finish in the stadium but once you finished what a shambles. Absolutely crap organisation! if they don't sort this out it would put people off.

In short: Lovely weather; good crowds and a PB
In full: Water in cups not great and hazardous; lucozade good but wasteful & another hazard; All I had in my goody bag was a banana and a medal! But apart from that I thoroughly enjoyed the race as it was a PB for me.

In short: Shouldn't have been two laps, as runners were falling over walkers on first lap, could have been dangerous
