Hope you all think this event was great, If so please could you rate this on the events section. Would like to say a big thanks to all my family and friends who help me put on such great race hope to see you all next year.
No more half's this year Stephen, But the ten miler is the Elswick Express on sat 19th july 10.30am start. As for the drinks station I try and man them with runners as a runner know what a runner wants just like most of the event it is manned by active runners or retired runners, not people from a big company who don't give a toss and are just there because its a job. So a big thanks to all my helpers that make the event possible and give up there time for the sport they love.
Just a bit confused how how people rate races. You pay 14 to 16 pound, you get a uka permited even/ accurately measured PB course/ scenic route/ sports cap bottled water every 5k/ well signed and marshalled course/ Medal-bottled water-easter egg and a bacon sandwich for your efforts. You would pay that price at some 10ks and just get a medal.

My thoughts exactly. Bargain. I have no idea what people want if they fault Valiants.
The only negatives I found where things out of your control other than that, I thought it was a good event which I would do again. With a 93% average you nothing to worry about Alan.
