Really enjoyed this event. Despite it being fairly cold in the wind before hand, that didn't dampen the spirits of the runners. The course was fairly twisty and whilst a single lap course you revisited parts of it more than once but actually this made it quite interesting and you often got to see other runners that you knew running in the other direction. The course took you all other the Olympic Park and started and finished outside the stadium. I always like the Run Through medals and this one didn't disappoint. Finishers t-shirt was good as well. Things to improve on for next year: There is quite a lot of street furniture that you need to avoid. I came close to colliding with a bollard when the runner in front of me moved out of the way at the last second. More warning signs would help. I signed up 3 weeks before the event and ended up in Wave 6 out of 7. Apparently there was an email to respond to about predicted finishing time, which I didn't receive. This meant I had a lot of overtaking to do in the first 5K and I wasn't able to run with a pacer. It worked out ok but would have been better if I could have picked the time I want to run and be allocated a wave accordingly. There was a large space for the event village but there wasn't actually much happening in it. But that said, for it's first year, this was a really good event and I'll certainly consider returning next year. **** CHECK OUT MY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF: https://youtu.be/NiyM0_6ubJQ
