The venue made everything easy - ample car parking, toilet facilities in the stadium, administration well organised. I did wonder about the 'flatness' of the course with 24m elevation in the first km, but 2km-5km were downhill, then 6km was flat, then 7km downhill, then 8km just 5m elevation, then downhill all the way! Definitely recommend this race and I plan to be back next year, a couple of stone lighter :-)

Well organized road race. Just one negative was the roads were only coned off down the middle with traffic using other side of road so a bit dangerous if you ran out side of the cones by mistake.
