There's something very British about runners dressing up and drinking wine in the surrey countryside. Having ran this previously I enjoyed the route change. There are plenty of Marshalls and supporters . The drink stops become rather congested at times. Not sure what the solution is to solve this. The bands seems to have reduced this year which is a shame but nev the less everyone had a great time. When you finish you collect your medal and you get a hog roast or a veggie alternative and another drink of your choice. Thankfully the weather was good and everyone say around on the grass enjoying themselves. Not sure what would have happened if the weather wasn't as kind. The vineyard also provide a discount in their shop which is great to take home some of the fab wines you sampled on the course. Everything works really well. Minimal queues for toilets, bag collection etc. The scenery is great and everyone who doesn't know the area is really taken in by it all.
