Great to have the event back, as always super encouraging marshals all the way round. Start and finish at the home of East Anglian football, Ipswich town football club's Portman Road. Adrian K

Nice course even with the two large hills! Well run with good marshalling and pace keepers etc. JH

Really good course, despite the hill about mile 8. Stunning views over river Orwell Brilliant support along the way. Plenty of water stations with option of electrolytes and gels. Would recommend the event as really well organised. Plus managed to bag a PB! Clare H
