It was velly good but a bit busier than usual. A couple of points: some the drain covers on the way round by leaves, so it may be useful to check these before the race & there were a couple of times when members of the public were walking around in the inside lane of the circuit - I am aware we don't have sole use of the pathway 👍

Beat 10km PB by 3 mins 19 seconds due to intense training for the 2022 London Marathon. So was delighted that I signed up last minute Friday evening!
