In short: Very good. One small criticism would be the lack of sufficient toilets at the start.

In short: Farcical queue at the finish and poor start organisation spoiled an otherwise good event.
In full: Pros:Parking excellent, and close to the start. Very well marshalled and drinks stations good. Lucozade sport turning up was good.
Cons: I was in the middle of the pack at the start, and didn't hear the start gun (or hooter) going off, so was unaware that the race had started. The finish was a complete farce, as I had to queue for approximately 5 minutes, from about 2 yards in-front of the finish line, until the poor chap at the end of the funnel (there was only one) recording the numbers. The time keeping was poor (showing about 2 minutes slower than I actually ran). The last thing you want to do after finishing a race like this, on a cold day, is to stand around for 5 minutes before you can leave the finish area to put some warm clothes on.
