Enjoyable race; lovely sections along the river and a great medal and t-shirt at the end. However a few things detracted:
1. It was 8.5miles, not 8 miles. This is significant. The course had changed from the year before but this was not mentioned in the emails. The end was therefore confusing and many runners tried to sprint the final 100 metres, but it turned out to be 600 metres to the finish line
2. A good chunk of the race is along a main road. So whilst the parts along the river are lovely, it's important to note.
3. The start was a bit chaotic, with confusing queues and pacers bunched together making it difficult to get going.
4. The support was limited. I appreciate that organisers cannot change this, but in terms of 'atmosphere' I can't score it very highly
