what time does registration close as i'm running the 10K and wasn't planning to get to the start until 11am.
S

Steph E11th Jun
Hi there! Registration closes 15 minutes before the run begins so you'll have time to register before your 10k :)

Definitely needed more toilets. Clearer race instructions to tell everyone to run down the left side of the road. But was a great race, amazing people at the festival and marshal; crowd support was ok, was some jeering as well (know this isn’t the organisers fault)

Thought it was very well organised but we didn't really like the route, realise you are limited on where you can go with road closures etc but it was a bit boring route. I also didn't like that people were crossing the road Infront of you all the time had a few near misses. Overall a good day but think I'd rather do the illuminations one again than this one

It was very nice atmosphere with easy route. Very easy and fun to run with the music which have you more energy to run. The weather wasn't the best but still great day out.
