Arriving withthe intention and understnading I was to pace for 8.2 miles at 9 min per mile I was ready and willing. At the briefing it transpired that both 16 mile pacers had fallen foul of illness so I had to step up.

As  a local and having completed the run several times I enjoyed chatting to those joining me at the pace. People all training for marathons including London, brighton, Madrid, Paris and Manchester it is clearly a brilliant place to cover 16 or 20 miles. 

A super flat course the pace is easy to dial in and it was a pleasure to chat to people all aspiring to achieve their own marathon goals.

Awesome weather although a little blowy the only challenge was the pace flag catching on the trees.

One of the best goody bags post race and the usual Mug to finish.

Worth an entry for sure. Usual superb organisation by Humanrace and thank you all the amazing Marshals.
