Amazing event through and through - only advise I would give to anyone thinking of doing it is don’t think do! But definitely road run, not just on a treadmill, prior to the race - feel like I’ve been hit by a bus today!! 😂

I liked the event a lot. My first time in GSR. Very enjoyable experience. Spectators' support great. Coming back next year 😁 only not so positives was fact it took me a while to locate the luggage tent and missed the warm up but it was me being later than planned. Couldn't find any information on how many people took part in 5k to compare my place to the number of participants. Overall it was a great day 😁
