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.

Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. The best place to park is Darwen End car park. There is also lots of parking around the area towards the Darwen side of the ground. :)
