In short: Better than the last time but too big, too many people and poor goody bag.
In full: Not enough room in the village for the very large number of runners. Spoilt therefore by it's own success. Not sure how so many 2 hourers found their way into the front of the field prior to race start. Miserly goody bag for the cost of the race, perhaps include something to eat next time! Thought I'd try it again 'cos it's local but all in all, probably wont do again.

In short: Great race but runners need to be accurately grouped by ability. What were 70minute+ runners doing in the 1st half dozen rows?
In full: More toilets? Why do we runners tolerate having to queue for 10 minutes before a race when they should be warming up. Simply supplying urinals would ease the queing problems! Other than that, great race...

In short: I can't see what everyone is moaning about
In full: 5 minute delay at the start and usual officious stewards at the end but great course and good t-shirt. Shame about the miserly 'goody bag' though.
