Very nice run. The Victoria park is really big, the staff was well organised. The only thing was the wind which was freezing in the beginning, but then once you start running it's a really good time

Sunshine and great organisation. Really loved this - everything felt really effortless (even the running!). Minimal toilet queues, no queues for event pack, wide boulevards and clear marking. You didn’t have to think about anything but one step in front of the other. The three of us got pbs without even aiming for them.

Enjoyed it. Had a fun morning. Well organised, toilets, bag drop all good. Staff friendly. One small thing: On findarace - it says Goody bag. In fact, you could just help yourself to some snacks at the gazebo when collecting your bag. It would have been nice to have a piece of fruit available also (e.g. banana) Not a big thing, but worth updating your info on here.

Victoria Park. This is a great level (ish) course in a park and the public use the park, inc bikes. I would however have liked to have seen a log of the half way distance as I believe other participants did not complete the whole course. If you don't complete the whole 13.1 miles you only cheat yourself OR anyone out of a position who have actually completed the distance after yourself!

Nice app vent. Nice venue. Lots or space and well run. Enjoyed the run and would recommend. Personally don’t like plastic cups of water prefer a bottle much easier.
