In short: Awesome
In full: Pity it rained the whole way as I cant abide running in wet shoes (But thats me) The race itself is always organised superbly, no other mass participation event could possibly run as smoothly. Only sad part about the whole experience was that someone nicked my goodie bag with all the contents when I was changing by the busses. :-(

In short: Not as described at all, very disapointed
In full: Where to begin. Potaloos at start line arrived half an hour before race and only 4. Long lines when the race started (very poor organisation). The course was described as fast and flat with a PB potential. The course organisers could not have been more deluded, I was looking forward to a PB but it was totally out of the question. Flat my foot !!! A VERY hilly course. Finish line was cramped with no marshalling to move people on to allow sufficient room for runners. Bag van was unmanned and I had to get in to find my own bag. No Security! In short, Good intentions but a D- from me and thats being generous. Will not be back next year.
