This was a great event. Really nice size, accessible and well organised. Will definitely do a race by nice work again.
And it is mostly flat, at one point the gpx was telling me 600m elevation but that is because the signal gets lost in the tunnel. Would recommend downloading the route and following it on your device if you can if you want the full distance accurately recorded on your device. Don't want to lose any meters for your strava data

Great race with easy parking. Would definately look to improve signage at the turnaround point for the 10k - as in have some... several people ran past it, it just needs a sign and not a bloke in a hi viz (that were also elsehwere on the course). Will do again.
