A very big thank you for a very well organised and stewarded event. This was my first run and I really enjoyed the experience, better still the charity I ran for (the Jimmy Mizen Foundation) raised lots of needed sponsorship. Well done and looking forward to next years event, and hopefully beating this years time.

Hello - Thanks for arranging this event once again. I have not run it since 2007 so was pleased to have sorted out my back problem sufficiently to take part. I also appreciate the age categories, as I am getting on a bit!
I found the signs for the distance very confusing and wonder if you could think about this. It isn't clear if the number refers to miles or kilometers, not which lap they refer to, where the course repeats the route. The person I ran next to also had the same problem so I don't think I was having a senior moment!
Also I and a few others nearly collided with pedestrians on occasion. Is it possible to have more separation between the running course and the pedestrian routes?
Thanks again.
