An out and back course starting near the Northgate Leisure Centre which hosted the HQ, toilets and changing facilities all provided free which was nice. It all starts on a downhill course but eventually there is a climb and a long slow climb up to the village of Mollington. Around the village in a clockwise direction. Towards the end of the loop there is the water station which wasn't congested like they usually are. Well organised I thought. On to the final stretch doubling back on ourselves and meeting the back runners about to take their turn through the village. This was a nice long downhill stretch which was very welcome, however the sting is in the tail as their is a steepish climb back into Chester itself. That and an increasing head wind made it a little difficult. Once on the streets of Chester itself it twists and turns until you're into the home straight which was packed with supporters. Crossing the finish line there was a great filter system in operation with plenty of marshalls guiding you through to get your drink, medal, t-shirt (great quality) and finally goodie bag which was good too. This being only the second time this has been run I think they've done a cracking job with the organisation. The only little thing I thought and I over heard others say the same thing too was there needs to be a few toilets at the actual start line. Otherwise couldn't fault it.
