Interesting run with nearly 900 competitors, with the start through the streets of Winchester. The route has some hills, but is all paved so fine for road shoes. Great finishers' medals and T-shirts. Event was almost cancelled due to storm damage, but the organisers did an amazing job in ensuring the race would take place.
Would be 5-star except the local authorities did not open the public loos for early arrivals. Had to wait until Costa Coffee opened at 7:30 - so thanks to them for the loo, a welcome hot Americano and friendly staff.
