The organisers did a excellent job, the only complaint was that there were far too many potholes on the course, perhaps they could ask the council to fill in those potholes just before the next GSR

Great atmosphere, great support, well organised, perhaps just too many runners, lots of people running in front of and around people to find a way through for a while. Loved the event just the same.

Good event but there were a couple of logistical hiccups that could be fine-tuned for future races.
