Re-arranged from the beast from the east, Everything was duplicated for today, a clear guide came with the race number with all the info you could wish for, car parking aplenty, free in most locations which was a bonus, a lot had deferred because of the date change, approx 2,600 ran in the event.

Running through the centre at the start was fairly narrow and a bit congested took about a mile to get going, the course looped around the town, crossing over several railway bridges for the west coast mainline, undulating in summary, energy sapping at times, the crowds were encouraging, Marshalling looked challenging as it was not completely closed roads, although many of the drivers were patient. 

With all good managed events, this appeared to be seamless, which is a good sign, no dramas, at the end, nice finish area, fab medal, T-shirt, no goody bag though? Unusual for the larger events.
