Really well organised. The bag drop was right near the finish, it was well marshalled - although it was supposed to be a closed road event and at times we were running through traffic. Lovely metal medal - none of that wooden medal crap that started happening recently - this one was proper nice hefty metal medal! T-shirts were nice. Can’t complain really
