many more toilets needed - far too congested and the queues were too long (didn't have time to wait!) when start was at Gateshead there wasn't an issue so more needed.

I thought the organisation and course were superb. My only criticism would be was the first 1k as you could not run due to so many people crowded onto a tight road and the swing bridge which affected times. Apart from that it was a really well organised enjoyable day

Enjoyed the race and course and only problem was the finish line. After you finished you couldn't cross the millennium bridge until the race was over and only option was to walk back along the course to the swing Bridge and then cross over then back along the quayside to meet relatives. Option I thought was the finish line was the start line and the start line was the finish line.

It was great fun, but a little too much doubling back on the route. I was looking forward to the stadium finish with it being my first time, but the route was changed.
