the area behind the arrival line was too small - not enough space for handing out medals and goodies meant there were too many runners waiting - and it was difficult to cross the arrival line and stop the clock...

Was a bit crazy at the end. Some people was unable to cross the line including myself. I had to push past.

Great race. Signs to show where bag drop is would help but not a major issue. Lovely route, plenty of support . Disappointed that no goodie bags or bottles left for the slower runners. We paid the same as the faster runners but miss out.

Good marshalling and rewards at end. Only suggestion is to have the tables giving things away further from finish to avoid congestion when crossing the finish line
