Salford is flat and fast.
It is not beautiful
It is not rolling countryside
It's a urban trashfest.
The Marshals and organisation are wonderful and make the event. Waves are well separated and make the event flow without over crowding.
Feed/drink stations are basic (cups of water)
Laps have their own challenge (but you know that when you sign up)
I enjoyed it but probably won't do next year (it clashes with other races).
