I ran this race in 2017 and also 2018 and the organisers made some great steps forward with the event village and also the subtle route change made a large difference removing a long narrow stretch of the race. This did mean slightly further to run on the grass round Priory Park from mile 10 but in the dry weather this was not a problem. The support at the start and finish was superb and a little thin on the ground further out but the scenery made up for the lack of support. The medal and finishers T-Shirt are superb and the after party with live music and freshly cooked food was great. A great event and will be back next year.
