Really nice, well put together event. The whole thing was organised well, and apart from a slight delay of the 1/2 Marathon start time (due to an issue beyond anyone’s control) I have zero complaints and nothing but praise for the organisers, staff and marshals around the course and not forgetting the other athletes taking part who were competitive but super supportive and encouraging. I will definitely be back to do it again.
