Really good run a little unorganised as the half and the 10k started at the same time. Medal was great too but the goodie bag was nothing to rave about

Great course through the historic centre. Was very difficult to understand where to start as the warm up was not very clearly described and the stadium audio was massively unclear due to the weather
