Good flat, fast race for anyone seeking a PB. However lacking in atmosphere, not many spectators, music nor bands etc. No one handing out sweets like in the UK! Wasn’t like a festival like runs in the UK no one dressed in fancy dress. All rather serious and elbows at dawn for those sticking to the pacers (which only go up to 2hrs!!!). The people handing out medals weren’t even smiling and said nothing as they passed it to you. Glad I had the opportunity to do it but doubt I’ll be back

Fantastically well-organised event. Managing over 28,000 runners is no mean feat... you were able to choose a slot to pick up your race bib (no queues when we went; friendly volunteers; smooth process) and the email communication was easy to understand and clear. The route was great and all the water stops etc were exactly as described. Drumming bands at different points helped as well! After it was over, the goodies were all fruit - super healthy. I loved it. Hope to come back next year.
And even more impressively, the city was back to 'normal' super quick.
