- Reporters noted start-line clearance taking more than 40 minutes, long queues for bibs and baggage, and congested entry gates during wet, windy conditions.
- Jack Bromley won the men’s half marathon and Lea Adamson won the women’s race, with Paul Edwards and Cienna Carol Carter topping the men’s and women’s 10-mile.
- Organisers BTR said they will take the learnings and do 2027 differently, with suggestions such as wave starts floated in coverage.
