Cadence events looked very professional at race HQ. Everything was well sign posted and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. 

Pros: great HQ facility at Stanley Park with ample parking and clean toilets, chip timing with instant results at the end, coffee van, decent sized Easter egg as a prize, cute bunny medal, decent photographer, quiet country roads that were generally quite flat with some undulations, fun warm up and a race briefing that everyone could hear. 

Cons: no baggage facility, only 2 water stations (same one that you pass twice) and no jelly babies or similar, long queues at registration, a bit over priced compared to the Devizes half that I did on Sunday which is the same price and it's an 'out and back' route which could put people off but it is nice to get encouragement from the faster runners when they're on the way back.

All in all, a good first running of this event with just a few tweaks to make it perfect.
