Great race. well organised in a lovely location. Nice medal
Two small gripes:-
1) Not enough toilets for females. Relied on the toilets in the sports centre. There were only three and they were blocked up by the time I got to the front of the queue.
2) Signage on course could have been better, I took a wrong turn and had to retrace my steps

I enjoyed the event in general, especially the location.
The organization process was pretty decent. No delays, no misunderstandings, and a sufficient amount of staff and medics. There was a possibility of using the toilets and changing rooms of the arena.
Water in plastic glasses and some snacks (sort of healthy cacao bar and several types of jellies) were located at the beginning and the end of the race, which was the same place.
There were a lot of other non-competition runners in the park but you could avoid the collision due to the wide racing track.
The track itself is flat and pleasant to run to.
The results were available on the website almost instantly.
