I think that quite a few were Stadium Runners, who seem to have a good number on Fetch, including Nicki No Miles, who was superb at the top of the last big hill. Quite the toughest race of 26.2 miles that I have done. Only about 100 yards of flat in the whole thing). Lovely scenery. Quite a few issues with this race - not least the shite medal and goody bag (mostly leaflets) which left a lot to be desired when the event cost £30. I hope that they up their game for the next two events.

I agree that the medal and goody bag were poor. The t-shirt was OK though. Nicki was brilliant. Just what you need at the top of that last bastard.
