In short: Very friendly off road challenge
In full: Well organised, very friendly, great marshals (thanks to you all) and well signed - only comment would be to give the cyclist marshalls a bell - sometimes runners do move about the track - I was nearly hit.

Not one for those that like smooth flat courses but hats off to you for a very well run event.

In short: OK.....a step away from being great
In full: I should have been raving about this event - 5 minutes under my PB was certainly something to be raving about but....

Baggage area was unattended / uncontrolled
Goody bag had a pair of 10p socks to fit a giant - I'm size 11 and they are too big for me and a medal and that was it !!
Someone put those bagpipes out of their distress.
There and back, there and back course is a little unexciting
Water stations were undermanned
Timing of awards presentation was wrong
Felt a little cliquey

BUT....

Fast course, car free, RW pacers were great.

Flyde Coast are clearly well organised in their races with everything set up well it just lacked a little consideration towards the racers

In short: No frills evening race organised by very friendly people
In full: Would have appreciated a water station and a 'cleaner' finishing area but a lovely race, friendly people and well organised.
