We took part in four races over consecutive days. The only thing that was missing was the Mitch Timms rigorous timetable which left more time for sun bathing.

The course is flat save a couple of slight drags, but PB potential all the way if you are hunting a fast half. Excellent organisation with race hq centered around Trafford cricket stadium. Good transport links using the metro with free parking at the stations outside the city. Overall a good event with that big city feel.
