It’s difficult to count your laps and the announcer is difficult to hear with the music and whilst you are running so a screen would be useful display this.

Did the race in 2023
Yes, I enjoyed it! Really friendly event; but needless to say that it’s tough running 106 laps of the track; and because the policy is that competitors run in the second lane, with the first reserved for overtaking, it’s a long marathon - 28.45 miles on my Garmin. But it’s fantastic training for marathons on the road!

Tough mental challenge, perfect for marathon training as I did the half. Only three stars for atmosphere. The music was fab but not much support from the side lines.
