In short: Bit crowded to start but I liked it a lot.
In full: I ran this race because unfortunately I had to pull out of the Brighton marathon and it was definitely better than sitting at home sulking. For a new race I thought the organisation was good and it had a nice friendly feel, especially compared to the big commercial races. It was nice to be able to park on the site of the start and finish for what I thought was a reasonable £3. It was also nice to get to use the "real" facilities of the rugby ground as opposed to the usual portaloos before the race.
My only slight grumble was that at the start and in the first few miles the roads were a bit tight for the shear number of runners, especially when cars were involved too. But this was soon forgotten as the course wound its way through some lovely villages and country side, and locals came out to give us a cheer.
On the whole, I thought this was a good event and I'll definitely be back next year - hopefully to take on the full 26.2.
