Overall genuinely happy for the race. Few negatives which prevented it from a five star 1 - I am not a great fan of dogs and I did see at least one person running with their dog. 2 - Granted it is a public path but having the general public cutting through and over the race track was not ideal. All volunteers were very friendly and provided plenty encouragement so will be back for another race.
