Marshals were excellent and very brave standing on the A271 to look after us! The only downside for me was the lack of bag drop. I don't live in Battle but we managed to come down for the weekend so I was okay in the end but, if I'd been on the train I'd have been a bit stuck.

Huge queues for bibs and toilets. This was due to scrimping on postage and facility costs. You couldn't hear the event organiser at the start line (I was only 5-10 rows back from the start line) but the speakers at the finish were deafening and you just wanted to leave. Did you test anything?

Lovely atmosphere and lots of support from the public too cheer you on.

All the Marshalls were brilliant and the lady at the end on the mic really
Made you sprint to the finish !
