A throughly enjoyable race. Registration was easy and the race packs were sent out a couple of weeks beforehand. Plenty to do in the event village and even though I had fast track bag drop there was no queues anyway! There seemed to be more then enough toilets and the start pens weren't clearly marked with big flags. 

 

Race started just after 9 due to a car on the track - the pens seemed to work however it should be more clear where the start line is as there was two mats that could have been the start so there was some confusion. Apart from that the course was great, not much congestion at all and all the marshals were fab! Mile markers were pretty much on point and it was cool running close to the terminal and seeing planes flying over our heads! Quite quiet for crowd support as most of it is out in the countryside however it does pick up again once you reach the city again. Nice flat ccourse bar one hill just before mile 9!

 

Lots of support leading up to the finish and awesome medal. At the end you get a medal, t-shirt, water, banana and a protein bar. Lots of food vans in the event village as well to grab a bite at afterwards most of which take card! 

Overall a great race and very well organised - would recommend!

Thanks for your review Katie, great to hear that you enjoyed the race. We hope that as the event grows the support will too. :) - RUN SERIES
