Thanks Grant, really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback and for the kind words about the event. On the spacing of the early water stations, we would have liked a smaller gap, however the planned location couldn’t be used due to fly tipping which we must of happened on Friday might and we found it saturday, and with an open road course it has to be safe not just for runners but for the marshals as well. We do take the point on board and will continue to review options. Thanks again for your support and constructive input.
