In full: I think the timings were inaccurate - or my watch is dodgy - the online timings added 1 min and 9 secs. Also, some of the km markers did not seem to be correctly placed - the distnace between 1km and 2km very short, and between 3km and 4km was very long - did others think so? Otherwise well organised and friendly

In short: Good course, poor organisation & facilities
In full: The course is a good one for beginners and fun runners as it is straight forward and scenic, especially as most of it is along the Thanmes. While the marshalls were friendly and individually helpful there were insufficient of them at the beginning of the race and this was the MAIN reason (although I acknowledge there were train delays)for the race starting late. There were only 10 portaloos and the queues for these and to register were very long and caused runners to get very cold and despondent before the race had started.

In short: well orgainised, especially road closures. Would have liked an energy drink to be included at mile 6. Hideous weather, perhaps foil blankets at end would have been useful in the finshers bag.
