Fantastic scenery
Well organised and aid stations were just the right distance apart (assuming you're carrying a bottle of water with you). Really appreciate having a shuttle service at the end.

More water stops would be helpful

Lovely scenic route, v friendly volunteer. Loved my goody bag and surprise buff!
Personally I would have liked a water station at around mile 10. Most of us ran out of water around then. It was a hot run. Just to half fill my water bottle would have made those last few miles more enjoyable. (At mile 5 at the water station I had hardly drunk any of my water but topped up my bottle still, it was too early a stop). Loved my goody bag tho, and very friendly staff/volunteers.
Easy route to follow x
