2010 Wye Ultra-Marathon

In short: For experienced "professional" organisers this event was extremely poor. A lot to learn.
In full: Positive
Good encourage form marshalls on course
Negative
Lack of markers and very poor signage - too many runners went off course
Too much road (20%) for an area with beautiful settings
Poor reception at the finish - I also felt sorry for the runners coming in to see the awards ceremony being held right by finish line (not good for their moral).
Poor quality medal and a woolly hat that relates to the organisers (blacksheep)
After completing 30 miles I was amazed to be directed to the refreshments area where I could “buy†a cup of tea/coffee

In short: Hilly, expect to run a few minutes slower, but great atmosphere around the course
In full: Goody bags ran out at 250 - rather annoying as I can 251!
Yet again Hastings have put on another good race 3878 competitors. Results are now available on hastings-half.co.uk.
See you next year
