Let's hope the Cardiff Half has improved itself for this year.

Cardiff 10k was badly organised, it has to be said. I tried to register by phone twice and was told I'd be called back but never was. I registered online via a third party website, which gave the
option to top up my entry fee by £1 or £3 for the organisers who are a charitable organisation (there was no option
not to pledge extra at all!!)
I had a phone call a day before the event to tell me where to pick up my number, but wasn't told where to pick up a t-shirt (neither on the day nor in advance). I came away having paid
£20(!) for a 10k event and to show for it I had a load of shite leaflets from HSBC, a pencil and an 'HSBC' medal. I don't take part for the goodies but I'd like a little more effort for that kind of cash tbh!
Well marshalled in general, good support but that's largely down to the lovely members of the public who came to cheer us on.
