I have been putting off writing this for a while, mainly because I was disappointed with some things and haven't been quite sure how to review a charity race sounding uncharitable!

Registration easy & as friends had already registered I could just choose their start time from drop down, numbers arrived well in advance of race (so far in advance I put it in a 'safe place' and had trouble finding it), just turn up wearing number on the day and good to go,

No sign posts for parking that we saw, no signs to race on way into Singleton park (may have been at other entrances?) walked for ages before thinking we should turn around and try different entrance when kind gentlemen gave us directions (by coincidence we got stopped for directions on our way out in exactly same spot so not just us lost).

Once at race start, plenty of toilet cubicals, Cancer Research tent shop, registration on day too, food van, bouncy slide for kids etc.

Called forward to 'warm-up pen' 15mins before your start for warm up dance and race brief - actually quite fun! 

Run through Singleton Park extra muddy as had heavy rain the night before, obstacles were good variety (tunnels, cargo nets, even Space Hoppers, all not compulsory), most marshals were good - tipping more mud or squirting you with water, others weren't as encouraging as marshals I've seen on other races which was disappointing considering how fun this type of race should be.

Local support- busy at start and finish with family friends etc but through the park nothing, people out on their Saturday stroll through the park just ignoring you as you run/walk/jog past covered in mud!? Couldn't believe a group of people purposely walking into our path at one point! Even people with earlier start times walking past with medals just ignoring you without a word of encouragement! No 'Well done' no 'Keep going' nothing! Very odd compared to more so called 'serious' running races where I've seen so much more camaraderie.

Slide down to finish line where given water bottle, Race For Life medal and empty bag (we thought it was goody bag but assume actually for muddy clothes lol).

5k only option for Swansea this time, think I'd be more likely to do Cardiff 10k version again before this one. Fun with friends and raised money so guess job done.
