A PR disaster.
The whole of the city centre was inaccessible to traffic for (as far as I know) about 5 hours. People could not get to or from the train station. Trains were missed and collections were not made. There was no prior warning that I saw or heard; there were no roadsigns up to say what roads were closed; people in the station were not told that the station was inaccessible, and that no taxis could reach them.
I heard some of the comments from those caught up in this mess. Running has just creted itself some enemies - and quite needlessly. Those who love running should be very angry about this.

If roads are being closed why not get a brass band on the A4232, stop thye route weaving quite so complicatedly through town. ADVERTISE big time, Cardiffs a great place and with acceptance for London, great North so difficuly really is good opportunity to capture the market for new runners. Ive really caught the bug and intend running regularly, even subscribing to this!
On the positive, running across the barrage and into the civic centre was a real buzz.
Cardiff sort it out, it really has the opportunity to be a big event!!
5 hours isnt Yhat bad for a first time is it
Congrats on 5hrs, Ive had loads of pats on the back just for doing it, remember it is 26 miles and if anything like me I hadnt run 3 miles just 4 months ago!
