Pre Race - Everything is sent to you well in advance and lots of info for you and anyone coming to support.

Race Day - Very well organised easy to get to with lots of public transport options, well sign posted and marshals on hand to give advise - Bag drop extremely simple

There is alot of space to warm up in

The Race -

The Start is in waves based on previous times which means there is less traffic at the start and you are all running around the same pace. There are also pacers (i only saw one but sure there were many more)

It is a flat and fast course with only a few places where its difficult to get past people - great for settign a PB

Drink stations have water and Lucozade and were enough for the half - the one at around the 11th mile really helped :)

Parts of the course are public paths which had some people walking and cycling - would be good if these were closed for a few hours in the morning.

Lots of marshalls and cheering points around the course and marked out

After Race - Once finished agaoin very efficient chip is removed and you get a medal, then walk along and fill your bag with goodies is alot on offer - plus collect your Nike T-shirt which is a really good running top.

Will enter again in 2018 maybe do the full Marathon
