Badly organised, no chip so no official time recorded, just organisers with a stopwatch calling out runners numbers as they crossed the finish line. Some weren’t even recorded (mine wasn’t and a few others weren’t either). Had to run into a busy road several times to pass pedestrians walking around the town so quite dangerous in places. One glass of water handed out at the end in a plastic cup. No giving out of prizes apparently, just winners given a (what looked like) a cheap plastic cup. Wouldn’t recommend it at all. Very badly organised all round (oh and a cheap generic medal.)

Lovely course and perfect weather but extremely disappointing that they couldn't even get everyone's times down considered we were all numbered. Could have done with a few more marshals to avoid us having to jump out of the way of so many tourists

The course would be amazing but to many people are in the way so becomes a dodging race

Fantastic weather, flat course. Marshall’s were stopping traffic in order for runners to cross car park exits/entrances, however when running past busy shops/pubs etc, I had to run into the road several times as there were no markers giving access to runners or Marshall’s to ensure safety.

The course is very flat and hard (Concrete or tarmac) for someone more used to trail races. Very relaxed and low-key experience.

the temperature running was pretty high and running on concrete for over an hour was tough. however the overall experience was good

There was 1 point at the top of the short incline in Sandown which needed a marshall although i guessed which way to go. I am slightly disappointed that results will not show ages and clubs as many runners thrive on this sort of info. Also, it was slightly over distance which i verified with a team mate but better to be over than under! All in all, enjoyed the event though
