Great race, PB course (if you get the weather), marshalls are good although could have reminded the 5k'ers to keep right more as you do cross paths with the 5/10k and half runners. Event free Parking was the only small negative as the weather had made the grass car park undriveable we all had to use the pay and display which meant everyone waiting for the same machines caused a slight panic. Overall a well run event for a 1000ish runners.
