A great atmosphere, well organised except I couldn’t hear the announcer who was not projecting or being amplified enough. So I was behind a lot of walkers at the beginning and wanted to run the full 5k. But I did it and raised money for bowel cancer research so feel very proud of the achievement and grateful to all who supported me. Well worth doing!
