Good, friendly event, a welcome snack and water at the end and number collection was well organised as well as sufficient toilets.
There could have been better information about parking (where to enter the park to be able to reach it) and signage for the event village from the parking. Very busy and muddy at the finish line, should have been a better area for spectators to stand.
Overall a nice route and friendly vibe, will go again!

It was my first time participating in an event like this and the friendliness of the staff made my experience easy and stressless. The boy was a great help that was going around and directing everyone towards the registration desk. I overall had a great day, can’t wait for the next one

Very well organised. Maybe better signs to race start, took us a bit of time to find from station and met others not sure where start was.
