Not enough water stations in my opinion. Staff were lovely but felt a bit chaotic. However would highly recommend to someone chasing a PB as course is flat, albeit a bit boring.

Lovely 2-lap course, easy for supporters to cheer runners in multiple locations along the route. Parking easy, plenty toilets, a well organised event, and nice to visit the city.

Lovely course, didn’t feel like two laps, next to no roads and a lot of running by the water

Lovely course, we’ll run. Obviously is a comparatively small event so not a big crowd. Lovely to have Jo Pavey start the race. My friends spoke to her after the start and said she was charming and interested.
