I used this race a part of my final build up towards London. Unlike last year it was a warm day and the 9 mile aid station was giving water out just after the first mile. A well supported race by those who were visiting the coast and a good number of Marshall’s on course. There was a nice lady handing out sun cream to those who wanted it and I heard of another offering a cool down from her garden hose. The aid stations were just plastic cups of water which is fine but at mile 9 when I wanted to refill my bottle I was told they were low on water and it only one cup per person. This changed again later on so I hear but they should have been more prepared for the warmer weather. The medal was its usual basic type with the centre sticker just changed for the year otherwise it was the same as last time. As it is Easter then we also got a creme egg for our efforts, a nice thing after 10 miles. Post race I took up the offer of the free sports massage which my legs were thankful for. All in a good mostly flat race which I am sure I will attend again
