I'm very slow to criticise race organisation as I appreciate the time & effort put in by volunteers BUT...

I'd doubt I'll do this race again, the organisation wasn't up to scratch. The stewarding was a joke, cars & tractors out on the course and 1 of our lads said he saw 2 stewards in hi vis with bottles of beer in their hands.


The finish line was a joke. It was tucked around the corner of the last straight so you couldn't actually see it on your approach. It was just a faint line drawn on the road anyway. They had no overhead clock. Plus it was extremely narrow, there was a rope about 4 feet out from the wall of the pub and a load of people standing almost on top of you as you approached the line. I always finish with a kick and was happy I could pip the guy in front of me just before the line. But there literally wasn't room for me to pass him. I cant understand how the finish line is so narrow, it was actually dangerous to be running in at full pelt.


I cant understand how they got an AAI permit. Just as well there was only 100 odd runners. No way they'd have coped with say 3 or 4 hundred.

Ya gotta love the critics hiding behind the anonymous section. Perhaps this could be removed, some people are never happy.
