Brilliant event - organised, flat and fun!
No registration needed - just put number on and turn up. Very helpful and efficient. The course was great... flat with the very occasional small rise. Definitely a PB course. Although the sharp turns in the final 3-4 miles do hit the legs quite hard.
Will definitely be returning to do this again!
