Nice flat course. Nice flat course, easy local parking, plenty of water stops.
However Our race did start late by approx 10 min and slow release of finalised times
really good local run but some teething issues to be resolved.. I really enjoyed the event as a local small run. I am really glad i ran it. But there was some teething issues. only three toilets meant there was massive queues for the girls, we boys were OK but the access was a small corridor. Race started 10mins late and the notification was a shout from an official that could not really be heard. The two laps was not great for the lead runners who were lapping other runners so it was difficult to know on the 2nd lap who was who and with the path only a metre or so wide it was difficult for them to get past with runners in both directions. The area is large enough for a one lap race as there was also cyclist and dog walkers around using the path. It was good having a chip start and finish and the marshal's were excellent. I will run it again. Thank you
Slow at letting you know result time. Race before and in the day organisation was good but really disappointed with the length of time it is taking to get my official chip time. Raced yesterday and still haven’t received it and now Monday. I’ve done LONDON marathon, GNR and Barnstaple half and all if them I got my results within minutes of finishing and Barnstaple is organised by a local running group not a big promotional company. Really disappointed 😔
