In short: Weird lack of atmosphere, but a nice run out....
In full: First time runner of this event, the start seemed friendly enough, apart from the announcer giving a long spiel about not wearing Ipods.
Water stops on the way round seemed well organised, although could have been in smaller bottles, was pleased to get the energy drink at mile 9 or 10.
Last 3 miles were a bit of a drag, I was disappointed to not run down the high street, but down the back behind tesco.
Goody bag was a complete waste of time - all mine had in was a trial for a Virgin gym in Gloucester (I live in Stockport, not much use!). For £26 I was expecting a T shirt, but in fairness it wasn't promised.
Lots of people were disappointed about the lack of water at the end, I was more amused by the announcer still banging on about people wearing Ipods!
All in all, bit pricey, atmosphere not as good as some others, but I'd probably do it again.
