In short: A great course slightly let down by organisation.
In full: First of all let's talk about the weather. The organisers were VERY unlucky to say the least in terms of the horrendous weather that made it tip it down for a good 4 hours prior to the race. A friend of mine ran the course 3 days prior and it was pretty much bone dry. This is clearly something outside of the organisers control.

What annoyed me somewhat about this race is that it is advertised/promoted as a kind of family friendly 10k/4k. That in itself is fine, but due to the horrendous conditions there should of been the following:

1) A delayed start by 20minutes to allow people to park properly and prepare.
2) A good clear and precise warning that the course has become very tough overnight and in some places dangerous.
3) CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHERE THE START is. I stupidly assumed it would be under the 'START' banner.
4) More marshalls as a couple of people got lost.

All this aside, the amount raised is fantastic and goes to unbelievable cause. Otherwise I would of been peed off at this race.

Noone can do much about the rain. But they can manage it better.

In full: I was a G3 virgin after pulling out the last two years much to the pi$$ take of work colleagues. Finally did it this year, and I have to say I'll be back next year for definate. I stupidly didn't enter all three so I'm hoping to find a drop out.

In short: This race is fantastic, a thoroughly enjoyable experience, tough route, lots of mud and puddles. The ploughed field is particulary tough.
