Really well organised - especially for a 'first'. Only criticism is the finish - for those of us who run more slowly, earlier finishers were on the course, making it difficult to finish - better if we could have run straight into the front of the staium, not round the back. Also thanks to local cafes/sandwich shops who were handing out water - greatly appreciated.

Had a great time at Blackburn,a tee would have been good in the price ,couldn't quite hear the compere/tannoy announcements at the start,so I could have been closer to start,other than that great day and great value

Suggest more publicity to encourage more crowds to support the runners.
Also encourage more gun runners for charity.

It was a fantastic race, but the start was a bit disorganised and no pacers, but other than it was perfect, looking forward to next year
