Nice low-key friendly run. After the Athens marathon last week, this one was a complete contrast. Really low key, can't have been more than 160 runners, but it had such a friendly atmosphere amongst people who obviously run with Rphoenix runners on a regular basis.
A simple out and back course of about 6.5 miles which is then run 4 times for the marathon distance. The route takes you along the banks of the River Thames so quite a pretty route, but once you've done it a couple of times the scenery gets a bit tired. We had a lovely crisp day to run, the towpath was flat and fairly dry all the way.
Plenty of encouragement from fellow runners, there was a real feel of camaraderie. Well organised with an aid station either end of the route stocked with all sorts of yummy goodies. Also great to see they run a system where you use a refillable cup to avoid litter.
Parking at the Xcel leisure centre was free and you could use showers afterwards.
All in all a cracking run, will definitely lookout for more of their runs in the future.
