The British 10k

Warning - the following post is a rant.
.
The organisation was awful. It took them until the 7th to tell us that some of us won;t be getting our race packs until late. Mine arrived on the Saturday before the race.

This meant I had to go and get a new number and pins.

The weather was awful - it was too hot to race. We were made to wait around for half an hour with no-one telling us what was going on or when we were going to start.

There were no toilet facilities and we weren't given any water before the race.

We received a medal; but no goody bag. We had to walk about a mile back to get our bag and medal. It was then another good mile before I could find a tube station.

Awful, awful race. I want to know what exactly my £50 went on.

Wouldn't recommend this one. Think I'll do the London 10,000 in May instead. Only £26, better organisation, a goody bag, toilets on route and we all knew roughly when we were going to start racing.
