The course was good overall but the first part was a bottleneck and was at a standstill at times. Running down the road for this stretch would have been much safer.

Course wasn’t good. As you’re coming to the finishing line there’s cars leaving. Signage wasn’t great either. Medal was good.

The course last year was much better and not sure why it was changed. The car parking wasn't the best however the course was cramped and not far from the start they were bottle necks. The turn on to the finishing straight was also on a very narrow path with dog walkers/public taking all the footpath. If the course reverts back to a more runner/race friendly I will enter again.

Enjoyed most of the course just not the start having to walk in single file up by the railings , maybe better if allowed in future races if that stretch could be done on the road.
