A few more marshals to make sure the route is followed correctly. Also the numbers were down this year, I think you picked one of the main shopping days before Christmas.

A great run, felt great to do it in fancy dress - really added to the atmosphere. The treats at the end were a bonus and the large medal was great.

I would recommend running in trail trainers as I ran in my road runners and was slipping and sliding everywhere.
