This is a great flat race, it's predominantly footpath with some lovely muddy sections just to make things a bit more interesting. A few narrow bits in the early few km can cause a bit of a bottleneck as those who fail to adhere to start times clog things up.
The marshalling is really fantastic and a lot has to be said about their dedication in this race.
Parking is free, however it is a good 15 minute walk to the event village so make sure you arrive with plenty of time to spare!
Not a fan of goody bags, medals and technical t shirts generally, but if you're after a medal and t-shirt to add to the collection then they're fine. Biodegradable bag which was good.
