In short: Excellent race. Great atmosphere.
In full: I really enjoyed the run this morning and managed a PB.
It's a shame it rained so much over the last few days as the pre-race area and food festival area was very muddy. Over crowded in the starting area and huge queues for toilets and baggage drop - it looks like some people would have started late.
Great course - support amazing, all the charities seem to do a great job. It was a beautiful morning. I hope that I can get in next year.

In short: Poor organisation - I hope Nike are going to invest in improvements for next year!
In full: Shocking organisation particularly in view of the cost.
Bags left in open. My 'bag pen assistant' had abandoned his post and we had to help ourselves to get our bags - very secure!
Shambles at the finish with people not sure where to get goodie bags and medals, arguments over who gets extra t-shirt and whether they had vouchers.
Everyone I spoke to complained about crowding for the first 2 or 3km - I was close to the front and there were still 'walls' of people walking that we're a pain to dodge.
"Come on Nike, this race has great potential".

In short: Excellent atmosphere
In full: Very well organised for us 'average' runners. Wonderful crowds supporting on most of the route. Start, bag drop etc were great.
Scorching hot day - what happened to the misting showers they were testing for the Olympics? - the only negative.
Cobbles in Leadenhall Market were tricky - presume there will be a carpet for the Olympics?

In short: Great atmosphere - shame about the weather.
In full: I really enjoy this race.
Friendly atmosphere and good turn out from whole village supporting run and fete.
Improvements for next year - organised bag store in village hall, more toilets, split parking - depending which way you want to get out of village after race.
Looking forward to next year although it may clash with BUPA 10000.

You have to get there early to avoid parking problems.
Too muddy in some places - had to walk.
More toilets needed.

In short: An excellent event
In full: Very well organised with lot's going on in the village.
Minor gripes - had to ask for plastic ties for timer chip - I saw several people trying to tie the chip into their laces. More toilets if possible next year.
A few of the other runners were getting worked up because a few people in a our start group were going quite slow and it was difficult to overtake at the start.
