Excellent event. Well organised, easy to find, good start times, good partners (for coffee, merch etc.) and loads of indoor toilets inside West Ham Football club. Speacial note - I did the 10k and was in real trouble in the last 100m or so and one of the marshalls/stewards saw and ran with me until I crossed the line. I got a 3 second PB in the end and it was all down to him! Whoever you are - thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

Great event put on by run through as always. Good value, well supported, brilliant marshalling, super organised. And this was definitely one of the better courses. Lots of wiggling around, instead of laps, so no chance of getting bored. Will definitely do it again for a marathon training run
