The Sunderland 5k was my first ever race. The registration was straight forward enough and received number chip and information pack. The race was an evening run which was a bit different from the usual runs, It was all signposted fine and marshalled well. It had a friendly fun atmosphere as the race started by going over the new Northern Spire bridge, the course was ok marked out well and had a nice big incline half way round to work the legs.
