- None come to mind thou the finish line did seem very busy/crowded further down the field
My favourite race in the calendar. Brilliant.
Fantastic race as usual. Also one of my favourites. Only fault last year was the crowded start and that was fixed this year. Congrats to all involved in organising such a great event
First time doing this a number of years. Top notch course and some spread. Was tempted not to race it all and just sit there and eat the food.
The route is lovely and the whole thing was faultless

Did the race last night, but have a major gripe about it CHILDREN running the race on 2 separate occasions one kid stopped dead in front of me in the middle of road cos he was messing with his friends behind him. I thought no under 16's were allowed run. Not impressed could have injured both of us.
great race really enjoyed even set a pb
Any pics?
