In short: Good Race, enjoyable but short
In full: Again like many others my Garmin made it short about 9.4km. Ruthermore my km splits suggested I was on for about 43 minutes not 40:51. I was also aiming to run about 42:30. I carried on running after the finish till 10K in 43:25 which was about right as I didn't feel I was running that well. So given that my time was faster by over nearly two minutes at 4:30 km pace the time and my Garmin both indicated this was around 0.5km short despite previous comments suggesting that Google makes it 2.49 a lap and the organises saying it was measured serveral times. (Plus I went round the lamppost on all but the first lap. Has potential for a fast enjoyable course so will be back next year as if the distance is sorted will be good for a PB. But that could be the last time if it not more accurate.
