I was visiting London, and went to the race with my daughter.I have ran in a lot of 5K/10K/Half marathons through the years, and this was really well done.The course was great, even though it was a repeat circular course.The atmosphere was tremendous.I will do one again next time I am in London.

This event is not for slow runners. It is attended mainly by serious runners who are after a PB. It can make slow runners very self conscious.The lady on the microphone did a fantastic job.
