← Run Gatwick

I must say that all I had to worry about in this race was having a good time. Everything from getting to the race village, dropping off my bag, road safety, marshalls, pacers, finish, post-race support etc went like clockwork and never once did I have to wonder "hmmm". Race Village felt like a festival ground, great vendors and a very happy atmosphere all around. Running parallel to the Gatwick runway was also a cool experience as was being in such close proximity to planes taking off!

All in all definitely a race I'd do again. Only thing to point out to organisers was that (even though I wasn't personally affected) I did see long lines for the bag drop-off and the volunteers being a little confused at times about instructions on where the bags should be kept. The group warm-up was also quite a cool idea, but as everyone is fairly crammed in together before the start it's a little hard to do lunges, squats etc etc..
