I did it last year.
It is a fairly uninspired route considering how nice a city it is.
Basically you head out the quays from the main square then double back to the square.
There are some bars going strong here at 9 in the morning so that is quite funny as some of the revellers come out to stare at the weird runners.

Then up through town up a nice drag of a hill then back to the main square and turn left out along the other quay.
You come back to the square and back out the quay that you went at the start, turn and back to the square to finish.......

As you can see not a very exciting course but its a hilly town so they are probably trying to keep the hills to a minimum.

The registration is the day before and was close to the start. Very small so don't expect a big expo.

The weather was about 17 degrees and mostly dry.

Heres a link to details of the route.
