Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

GD Never did get up to target pace due to the crowding. Wish the organisers had told us that Westfield wouldn't be opening their car-park, would have got there about 45 mins earlier! 
Great to get to run in the stadium, of course - other than that pretty poor.  Course far too narrow for those sort of numbers, and I was in the red wave - guess it can only have been worse for later waves?

Flat Out Fi Was v relieved to get round in one piece!  Started v steady and as back didn't feel any worse I decided to up the tempo after mile one so was just happy to do it today and didn't worry about my time.  Great race and fab atmosphere.  Loved running around the track at the end.  It felt amazing!  Said hi to Paula Radcliffe too!

HermanBloom Assume I got lucky as was in White Wave and apart from a slow-ish first mile I didn't have issues with congestion. course twisty for sure, but good fun with good atmosphere and enjoyed running around the velodrome etc with mates. Finish of course was great and breezed in and out of the place. Decent entertainment as well, if you like pop bands!

BrianJ Course felt a bit long, and I got 4.2 miles at 4 mile marker, but Garmin lost signal under stadium so didn't get final estimate. Course was very crowded and couldn't get up to speed until 2 miles had elapsed. Stadium finish awesome, slowed down a bit to make it last longer!
