E-mail today from online organiser "Your Race Number, Timing Chip and Race Instructions Document are in the post and should arrive shortly".
Would appreciate any tips from folks who have run this one before as this will be my first time at this race (driving up from London) eg does 'flat' really mean'flat'...? Cheers!
TNT, I reckon I can safely say that this is a fairly flat race. It's around the town so it never presents you with a real hill, just a couple of short/sharp rises. I'm number 133 if anyone wants to say "Hi!".
Hi Richard W - thaks for the reply/advice but sorry only saw your e-mail just now; was tucked up in bed at 00:17 and left in hurry this morning. See you at Copped Hall 5 or Royal Parks HM maybe?
Thanks to all the marshalls involved..the city was a bit difficult to navigate than when I was last there as a kid so thanks to those lovely passers by in WGC in giving me last minute directions...and to the two trent park runners who were also running late..think we made it to the start by jogging to the start line by 2 mins....so nearly didn't make it...all in all having got changed in the car and dashing to the line..very happy with the event..great marshalls and organiszers..(could you make the print out a larger font next year?!) as very hard to find if not local...

TNT, yes it was rather late to respond, wasn't it. I reckon that the hill at 2 and 5.5 was the only teaser. Apart from that, fairly straightforward.
I'm doing the Copped Hall 5 but not the Royal Parks HM.
