Did the race in 2023
The tunnels themselves are wonderful to run through, really ejoyed that part but there was traffic jam at the start where we actually ground to a complete halt after we'd set off. As GPS doesn't work on the course because of the tunnels it might be a good idea to have chip timing. I feel my official time that was logged as way too quick for whatever reason. Also, the medal design and quality was terrible I'm afraid to say, however I would do the event again as it's an interesting course and the tunnels are great.
