In short: Great race all round
In full: Another great race - organisation gets better every year. Good to see energy gels given out for free, and a good quality tech shirt. Parking well marshalled, as was the course and drinks stations. Bottles would have been better than cups, but no matter. Love this course, and will definitely be back.

In short: Very well organised and a nice, scenic course
In full: Really well organised and pretty good value compared to most half marathons. Not many races where you get a good quality "technical" running shirt, free energy gels and energy drinks at the finish and at some drink stations along the course. I was expecting a bit of chaos with everyone collecting their number and chip on the day but it was really well organised. Excellent job by Full Boar Events and all the volunteers. The course was hillier and tougher than I remembered but I think I'm just getting older! The "Gated Road" climb up to Market Bosworth seemed to go on forever!

In short: Just perfect!
In full: This was the 10th different half marathon I have done and it's easily the best. Lovely course with 360° horizons, the right ammount of 'undulation' with the climbs in the right place, friendly enthusiastic marshalls, excellent start/finish area. Slight niggle - no medal, but I'll forgive them that.

In short: fair but not flat
In full: Nice race, great setting for the start. Hillier than I expected. Little niggle, cups are a pain in long runs. The finish was a little odd. Nice shirt.May be back.

In short: Great event,
In full: This is a great half marathon course, hilly enough to bereak up the run. The organisation was great, parking are we're well marshalled and the support on the course was great.

In full: Good course,with a hill from about 9 to 11 miles that i didn't really notice until i realised i was tiring and slowing. It crept up on you! Thankfully the last 2 miles were downhill so i was able to pull myself together for the final push. Well marshalled and organised though if the weather had been like 2 weeks previous the car park[an uncut grass field] would have been impossible to use[organisers are you listening?].Nice looking t shirt as well. A good day.

In short: Well organised, friendly, beautiful route
In full: Great race, lovely friendly atmosphere, well organised, very supportive marshals and water stations.. Car parks busy but organised. Undulating route, uphill miles 10-11 but that allows a lovely downhill 2 miles at the end. Got a PB too so very pleased. Thank you to the organisers.
