Really enjoyed this race, whole atmosphere is superb and the course itself is very flat and it was well managed. My only piece of criticism is the start. As we start off and head towards where the car park is, there are still people coming down to get to the start. Hence why we were late setting off. Perhaps people could be sent down behind the cabins which would then clear the start area. Other than that I highly recommend and the scurry beforehand was a nice thought too. Overall excellent !

I have run this race every year since inception in 2011 and Think the course was 0.1 miles long over distance this year as turnaround point was slightly further possibly. I LOVE THIS RACE !!!❤️
