ONE MINOR COMPLAINT: water in plastic beakers at water stations is rubbish - you either don't slow down and spill 99% of it, or basically stop to drink properly and lose loads of time. Bottles, Run Nodge adminfaces, get an Official Water Partner to do loads of little bottles to give out like a proper running event.
