The organisation was fantastic with great marshalling on a tricky course. It was an absolute monsoon on the day but amazing stuff by the organisers to put on such a great event.

THIS RELATES TO RUN NATION***Event cancelled at short notice (no issue with that)- given the option for credit or refund, initially selected credit, months later and no credit in my account, changed to full refund, no refund and zero communication from them despite multiple emails. Still chasing...shambles.

Not as flat as expected and surface was quite loose, there are a lot of pot holes to dodge !Enjoyed it overall and will be back for the half marathon in June.
