Atmosphere was great. The start and finish areas were impressive. The course wasn't the most interesting, but that's understandable given it's in central London. Staff were very helpful. Well organised event. Would recommend.

Very well organised and marked out course. The marshals around the course were fantastic showing support and directions. Both 5k & 10k races started at the same time which was a surprise, would have preferred to been near the front of the pack than at the back thinking 10k race would have its own start.However very enjoyable run and well done to all who organised!
