I entered the 20 mile option as part of the build up to VLM 2018. I live in MK so know the route well. The start was 5 minutes early which caught a lot of runners off guard, this was not good. The route not bad, I am not a fan of loops and there was an annoyance as I completed the first loop as the hlaf marathoners joined. This meant congestion. The course is quite sparingly supported (the Redway Runners of MK are the stand out part)
The last 2 miles are uphill with a beast of a hill at 19.5 miles! A great medal and overall an emjoyable event
