Did the race in 2023
This was one was problematic for me because of the weather conditions and lack of communication on that during the day (to confirm if it was going ahead). I personally thought with weather warnings it should be cancelled OR participants given the option to defer. As I largely do these races to stretch myself and get a good time, running in those conditions where it wouldn't be safe to race, are sadly redundant for me. I realise the organisers have commercial reasons to not cancel but in that many people seemed happy running the heavy wind and rain, such an offer might not actually result in that many people deferring, but it would greatly please the likes of me who would.

Very nicely organised, everyone extremely helpful, enthusiastic and supportive. Course was great and an amazing atmosphere. Just one thing, specially on a rainy day like yesterday, there was not hot drinks available anywhere around. Overall, great experience, very nicely organised and will certainly recommend to friends and acquaintances.

It was a wet day( raining almost all day), I was hesitant whether to attend or not. Finally, I decided to go, the course was very good with the ground totally acceptable, and even running in the rain was so much fun.Thank you for the good organisation as well.

course could have been more interesting (less laps) and would’ve been nice to see a bit more instruction at the start.
