Won't lie, the run looks great and I do enjoy my rejection emails every year. But the waiting around would do my head in. 10:55 start and you crossed the start line at 11:25 ish.....60k runners is probably the max where they're at now. Shame no crowds on the tyne bridge cos of the weather (or what ever reason there was)
@rollercoasterofrunning9 күн бұрын
@@kevinscott4938 hard to argue against anything you've said. The waiting around sucks, in the rain it's even worse. This has to be the limit from a safety and runner's experience pov. Anymore and it's a cash grab. Tyne Bridge is being painted/restored so no spectators this year. No red arrows either as they were in Canada. Still lots to enjoy though!

@@rollercoasterofrunning Wouldn't have been able to see the Red Arrows anyway, so foggy haha. Well done and like you, deepy saddened to hear the young man lost his life on the run. Great event, I agree with you about the bottlenecks - I think they sub-divided too much - they should have just filled up Orange from the front, Green from the front of green etc. Restricting the entrances to three small B, C, D, etc sub-waves either side was too much and constricted people flow too much, hence the queues. The waiting around gave me a bad back. I'd imagine there's no perfect way of moving 60,000 people quickly into position from the part to the start, but hopefully they have another go doing something different next year. Well done again
@rollercoasterofrunning8 күн бұрын
@@JoeKeaveney agree with all your points and yeah the red arrows might have been a bit hard to pick out like the fireworks at the beginning! I hope they listen to feedback and begin to trust people again as the high fences and small entrance points aren't working. Will still be there again next year though! Well done to you too and hope the back isn't too bad a couple of days on.

Smashed it ! As Jenny said, it's nice to see it from the runners point of view. Watching on the TV you see the massive crowds but you don't realise the magnitude of it until you see how tight some of the roads get and how close the crowd is on top of you. Also love the POV when you were going under the motorway bridge, that's not something I've seen before.
