This is my third time of doing this race and I love it. It's easy to get to, great value for money, and lots of support on hand from the marshals and other runners. Proceeds are donated to local charities. 

This is a popular race that sold out a good few weeks before the day. I was lucky enough to get a transfer place from someone in my club - this was handled quickly and efficiently by the race organisers. 

If you're new to this race, a few things to note

- you can have a shot of beer in the last mile!

- this is run on open roads - I'm fine with this but I've been to other races like this one without closed roads that have freaked out some runners newer to racing;

- timing is based on gun time, not chip time - this might add a couple of minutes to your overall time; and,

- there's great crowd support at the beginning and end of the race - along the route the main support is from other runners and the marshals who do a superb job.

I'll be signing up again next year!
