Yep, it was technically the first time the event had been held, so I can understand some teething issues...The event 'only' had 2000 participants, but that's still too many for my liking. The London Marathon and the Great North Run both put me off for the exact same reason!

I did an ultra 2 years ago with only 40 entrants, that was much more comfortable! No issues on parking that day either! 😉

It was good fun, I really should try to get to some more events, I know some people who seem to be racing practically every other weekend. I've got my eye on a 1/2 in March next year in Scunthorpe. It is a popular early season race and is pancake flat so plenty of PB potential

Have you got any races planned?
