This was a great race and I think went very well, given it was the first race set here. PROS - Lots of parking - Great medal* - Pop up shops from brands like Runr - Proper toilets!! (always exciting at a race) - Good goodie bag - Free massage CONS - * It would have been good to have a different medal for different distances (or at least a different ribbon) - No on course toilets. Admittedly impossible on this course but would put some people off! - I wasn't overly impressed by the official photography. Ben Lumley's stuff was great as usual but I think he was there for PR, not the actual race photos. Somebody like Sussex Sport Photography would be good for another year. I would also have included a 12 noon start time on the Cons list but for the 2019 race I think they've moved it to 1000. All in all this is a race I'd definitely recommend.
