In short: How many more people have to say it - appalingly badly organised
In full: It is great to run on London streets that are normally full of traffic and even the rain was OK. However it is as badly organised as previous years. Bags dumped on the ground in the rain (there was an attempt at some security this year though to be fair). The start is just a mosh pit it really is amazing there are not more serious injuries as people have to fight past walkers. Now I have been a 90+ KG plodder when I started and I admire anyone who gets off their arse and runs this but it really needs to have staggered start times by expected finish times like their arch enemy the B*PA 10K which is far better organised. Erm lets not mention the goody bag. Didn't like the enforced Nike t-shirt wearing that made it look like a Stalinist 10K. Chip timers and welcome pack never arrived in time just as well this was never going to be a PB.
