I found the organisation at the start very poor. It was not clear where the specified wave you were in started and it took me a long time with increasing anxiety to find it. At the end it was a very long walk before you were given water and the goodies at the end was a soreen bar.
I knew there was no t-shirt when I signed up but still a disappointment for such a big event

The Finish Line will close 3 hours after the last participant has crossed the start line; this equates to a pace of approximately a 13.5 minute mile or an 8.5 minute kilometre.
The roads along the course are re-opened in staggered zones and so you will need to achieve the minimum pace throughout.
There will also be a sweep coach at the back of the pack which will progress around the course at the minimum speed. If you fall behind this speed then you will get overtaken by the coach and encouraged to get on it.
Should you choose not to then you will be asked to move onto the pavement so our team can safely clean the roads, remove all the infrastructure, and facilitate the re-opening of the roads on time for businesses and residents.
Please be aware that should you continue on the pavements however event signage, directional aids, drink stations, and medical stations etc will be removed as we will start to return roads and pavements to their original state. Should you carry on you will be doing so full in the knowledge of this.
