In short: first ran this race in 1983 and 16 times since
In full: this year i was a supporter @ the 200m to go
and after reading a few remarks. i like to add mine as a non competing runner
we arrived at 7.20am and found like many that the parking was poorly signed . on top of this 3 pounds which they fogot charge the first several cars in .
sencond the toilets where dirty and had no loo roll that early in the day.
then 2.50 for bus into newcastle this should be free . and its high time to have a cut of time far to many walkers.but then again when you have carol voderman saying it i only ran 2 miles and walked the rest only took me 4 hours its giving out the wrong message.
all so found as with london marathon you have bbc basis towards there mates who are running it.
and the prat who was giving commentry at the race end was a a joke a bad one at that who hired him. made us northern folk look thick
he had no idea about the run
and he could not get the crowd going.
i may never run this one again ,next year i going to volunteer to marshal as its a free
nike jacket and 50 pounds .a better deal than 35 pounds and no xl shirts left free parking and food.
