The start / finish area was very congested.

To make it better:
water station needed to have more people helping or bigger table to have more cups of water ready to go (had to queue to get water)
Beers need to pre poured so that the queue moves quicker or cans handed out.

2 laps wasn’t fun, there are plenty of ways to extend that run to do one lap albeit appreciate there are roads to possibly cross.

The start/finish line should not have been squashed in the corner. The chaos at the end waiting to get the free beer needed to be managed better we waited 40 mins at least.

Saying that, it was the first one so I’m
Sure improvements will come next year. The Marshalls were fabulous, the medal was great (glad I got one) and it was a lovely day for it, will sign up next year!

a great race. Hopefully it will be a regular event.

I had to wait 2 minutes for water at the 5km mark because there weren't enough people/jugs.

It also took 20 minutes to get a drink after the run. Given the numbers, there should have been more people serving drinks during/after the event.

Having a race that goes through 4 gates (creating a bottleneck) is not a great idea.

Well organised, nice amount of toilets at the start. Great marshals along the route. Sunshine and beer! Stunning

Pros: Beer
Cons: Queue for beer, no hand san at men's urinals, not enough water at finish.

Lovely though the medals are I’d have been happy with the glass from siren and more water stations en route (it was quite a warm run!)

Just my opinion, but I didn’t like the 11am start time. Appreciate that there had to be a route change but my preference would be 1 lap not 2. Varied route had something for everyone, but the unmade path had many bricks sticking out and could have been nasty if I’d fallen. Water station at 5k was awkward as we had to wait for water to be poured, which added time. Very tight at the start/finish; the queue for beer/glasses was long and impacted on getting across the finish line and over to get back to the bag drop. Great atmosphere though, helped by the fab marshals, especially the ladies at the 5k/turn back into the industrial estate at Hogwood Rd, and the weather (too hot for me!)

Really fun day out with friends. Great atmosphere but the finish could have done with some more organisation as the queue for the free beer was a bit long and ran out towards the end.

A little more organisation needed at the finish line, we were all so desperate for our beer it became a bit chaotic.
