After picking up our tickets from the Seiko pavilion we decided to explore what the park had to offer. The images above are from the inside of the Seiko stand where if you managed to stop the timer on 9.58 seconds without looking you won a Seiko wall clock. It was a lot harder than it looks and many came close but I think we only saw one winner in the entire day that we were there. The stand looked fantastic with a well thought out game that linked in well with the brands &#8216;Official Timer&#8217; status.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-6523-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/VID_20170807_165941231.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/VID_20170807_165941231.mp4\">https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/VID_20170807_165941231.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Inside the stadium was breathtaking, we were given VIP treatment and Scott even managed to get a photo with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paularadcliffe.com\/\">Paula Radcliffe<\/a>.

Our seats were directly facing the finish line as you can see from our photos which was where all the action was.
