In short: Enjoyable course with the usual brilliant organisation and great atmosphere - will be back once again next year
In full: This is a superbly organised event, it's hard to see how they could improve things. The atmosphere is most encouraging, the course is a lovely one to run with great scenery and about the right amount of challenge.
The only downside is because the event is popular it is very difficult to achieve a fast time. The posting by Sophie Davis is spot on, it is very frustrating being stuck behind other runners on the single file sections of the course who are running much slower than you would like, and yes WALKING up one uphill! The organiser's efforts to counteract this by the staggered start is being negated by slow runners putting themselves in unrealistic time categories.
That aside, this is one of the best events of the year and definitely on the calendar for next year.

In short: Flat very fast course gives great PB potential. Efficient low key administration
In full: This was a cleverly chosen course for pure speed - great PB material, pancake flat. Not that scenic but quiet and trouble free. Administration was efficient, not that hard to find really, despite what others said, though I agree that a clock at the end would be an improvement. KM markers actually seemed accurate which cannot always be said.

In short: Flat very fast course with great PB potential even in the winter winds. Efficient friendly low key organisation with no problems.
In full: This was a really good run to start the year on a very fast completely flat course - PB achieved. Well organised for a first time event, though I would suggest more toilets and distance markers as improvements for next year. Well done to all concerned.
