Part of the course had a lot of holes in the floor. I felt this was very dangerous and you could easily roll and ankle at these points!

Excellent - really well organised from the parking to the stewarding and marshalling of the event. The heavy mist didn’t spoil the event. I would definitely recommend and do this one again. Thanks

Marshals and first aiders leaving their positions before I had started my last lap. If there was a cut off time then this needs to be advertised on the event guide before people enter. I was the last across the line and was glad that the person on the microphone knew my name as no support on the whole of the last lap which really made my motivation to complete the course go out the window. So ended up walking the last lap due to no encouragement from anyone. I dread to think if something happened to me on the last lap how long it would have been before someone knew as with the fog you wouldn't see the far field and no one around the course.
