Race pack was sent out about 2 weeks before with useful info on various car parks to use.

On event day I was doing the 10k but also supporting some friends doing the 5k so we got there earlier to cheer them on.

Event village area was good with opportunity to pick up tshirt before race (and ensure you got the right size) along with food & drink vans and ice cream van. 

Nice to see the portaloos were regularly checked and cleaned- big positive point there! 

The 5k started at 10 and the 10k due to start at 11 but was slightly delayed due to an issue on course.

There were no starting pens relating to predicted finish time so it was a bit of a free for all. Not an issue for me but could have been for faster runners hunting down a certain time.

Route had a few more inclines than I anticipated however this probably didn't help that I hadn't properly trained post London! Nice and scenic with plenty of twists and turns so certainly couldn't be bored on route. 

The Marshals were all great, lots of positive cheering and smiley faces! 

Only downside to the event was the bottle neck after the finish line. I presume this was due to not having premade goody bags in a bid to cut down on plastic and waste (which is postive) however the single file li e to be handed one of each thing left.you with a bit of a  balancing act and took a lot longer than preferred. 

I will definitely do the event again.
