Was REALLY shocked and dismayed to find out there was ZERO water stations until the finish. I have NEVER run a 10k without there being at least one at 5k.
A woman collapsed and had to be stretchered out.

Not having drink stations I can only assume was to save or make more money and was VERY irresponsible! My wife and father in law have been running many years more than me and along with other runners, all said it was a shock to find no water. This can be potentially life threatening to some. There are no checks on fitness - if someone enters who is dehydrated or isnt fit, this water is badly needed. For myself, as someone fit, I could still do with a drink at 5k, especially if a gel has been taken that can dry out the mouth. I wouldnt do this run again if no drink stations are at least at 5k once.
Otherwise all really good so it's a shame this let it down!
