The event itself was great and space was good. Very helpful. The only big issue was that I didn't receive the event pack with location and all info prior to the event which meant me and other runners couldn't find the starting location and started our run later. Everything else was perfect.

Friendly atmosphere. Genuinely flat, wide course, good surface. Really smoothly organised, really well marshalled, signposted. Would be super for anything from a first ever race to a pb charge.
