In short: Oh The hills
In full: Superb run, brilliantly organised. The support from the crown is second to non, I have never ever ran in a race quite like it.
Downside. Massive queue for the Metro (I will walk back to Sunderland I think next time). And the Sugar free Powerade !! Who on earth thought that was a good idea? Not what you need at 10 miles. will I do it again ? Course I will.

In short: Ran the 10k, not fast and flat, too tight in places
In full: lots of posts about the 10k start and I agree with them. I was running at 7.5min miles and happy at that, swamped by marathon runners at about 2miles, just when the route became tight. Greater time needs to be allowed to get away. or all start on mass, but have timing pens, so same paced runners together irrespective of overall distance. i.e 1hr marathons in with 30min 10kers. Organisation was bonkers at the start, couldn't hear the annoucments until stood next to it. I didn't use the baggae, left it in my car (thought lots would have done also). Potential for this to be a cracking event. Just needs the odd tweek. Oh and a bit of grub at the finish is pretty standard lads (especially at this price).
