In short: Dangerously poor organisation
In full: What could have been a good day out, despite the weather, turned into a complete farce by the lack of organisation.
Took me 3, yes, 3 hours to get my bag from the baggage tent. It probably would have been longer had the police not had to turn up to try and manage the situation.
That length of time in the cold in wet running kit was horrendous. Took all the shine off a day when I'd managed a PB.
I have been to many races and have never seen such poor planning. There was clearly a woeful lack of space and people to manage the bags. The organisers are lucky that nearly half of the entrants didn;t turn up or I dread to think how long it would take to find my bag.
Only postives from the day were the crowd - fantastic support despite the horrid weather and the water stations were good.
Will NEVER enter an event organised by Xtra mile events. The situation they put the runners in was dangerous
