The start and finish are in different locations so allow a few minutes to dump bag at the finish then walk to the start to join one of the two ridiculously large toilet queues.  

Apparently there were over 2000 runners this year, and half this amount last year - but they hadn't added extra loos.  Plus a bit of chaos with the queues so actually a Marshall here would easily have sorted this.   And why were there no toilets at the finish in the race village???

Loo queue issue aside (!), the race brief couldn't be heard unless you were right at the front.  This wasn't a problem but there didn't seem to be any countdown or notice of the start.  

The  first half of the race is essentially Leamington parkrun in reverse, so a nice gentle incline up a muddy trail before heading back into town.  People - just run through the muddy puddles. They won't kill you.  And me slamming into the back of you when you suddenly stop to scream when you get your trainer dirty is not good for either of us.

Water stop at 5k in cups, then into town.  Local support was excellent!  Run through the three main parks then back to the race village.  Fab, friendly atmosphere throughout.  Water, kitkat (genius), medal and a non technical t shirt at the finish.  A technical t could have been purchased for extra cash. To be honest, ditch the non technical and just put a technical one in the goody bag.  They cost a couple of quid.  And people will wear them and publicise your race.  You never see a Regency t shirt worn after race day!

Lovely local race with a bigger race feel.  Look forward to running this again!
