For this race, I parked at a friend's house and walked a mile to the rugby club as I know from experience that traffic can be a nightmare getting in and out when there are lots of cars. I'm glad I did, as marshals weren't letting cars leave until the last person had finished. 

Registration was easy and the fun runs were successful. The MC on the mic was giving clear and useful information before the race. Unfortunately, if anything was said as we gathered around the start, I didn't hear a race briefing. 

The day was extremely hot and I was glad to see a water station half way around. The course has very little shade and I forgot sun cream and got very red shoulders!

The course is a nice 1 loop with a few undulations, including a hill at mile 4.

Great foodie freebies at the finish line with water and a catalogue medal. I didn't make use of the massage tent but you could have your muscles pummelled and there was a lot of cake to buy.

A great morning out.
