First Maverick for a couple of years. Same great atmosphere I remember at the Finish Area, great to chill in sun with a beer. Stunning course, the views on this section of coast path are spectacular.

A really well run event with great and enthusiastic event staff. Well marked course and well organised start/finish/parking areas. Could perhaps do with female loos at the aid station as the course was pretty exposed to find a bush to hide behind.
