    Looks like it will be a nice evening for this!

    Can someone tell me how early I would need to arrive when registering in person ahead of race?

    Shouldn't have too much hassle. Given the fine weather they're expecting a big turn out so give an extra 10mins just in case. Registration is across the road from the start line and car park. Give yourself time for the warm up, There is a track there so ideal prep.

    Great, thanks for the advice!

    Don't see an official cut off time so I'd say up until just before start time but wouldn't leave it to chance. Open from 6pm

    That was a great race! :D

    The parking was well marshalled, registration was painless and the course was excellent.

    Only change I would have made was some signs directing drivers to the athletics club from the M4 exit.

    The guy standing at the 800 metres remaining mark was much appreciated, knowing the current clock time was an extra incentive to push on for the finish.

    There were signs.

    Great race. Lots of long downhill sections.

    Don't know how but I got a 12sec PB tonight ☺. Was in bits from halfway with a stitch (went out waaaay too fast). Considering I've missed nearly 4 weeks to injury and only did 3 very slow runs this week not too shabby.
    Seemed to be a bigger crowd this year which added to the buzz at the start. False start was due to some kids in the line of fire at the start on the footpath where a good few runners were going to start but great night overall.

    Great race yesterday, really well organised from start to finish. Registration quick and easy. Nice course as well. Will definitely be back.
