In short: Ooh, bit hilly for Norfolk!!
In full: My first half marathon! more hilly than I thought it would be but a great run, met lots of nice people and completed in a faster time than I had expected. A very friendly run and very well marshalled. Pity about the toilets! a medal would have been appreciated.

In short: Lovely rural course - not as flat as one would expect in Norfolk!
In full: Well organised, friendly and good fun. Hills and route made for an interesting course and I enjoyed it. Will come again!

In short: If there is more scenic race in the East then I haven't run it !! Lovely villages - chalenging undulating course.
In full: I was epecting some undulations and I got them, plenty of them. Norfolk isn't FLAT. Having said that they were all short and if you go up you have to come down. Great race and the scenery was fantastic. Only negatives were the parking - there was no room so we were told to park down the lane, which I think p'd off those homeowners with verges and with empty water bottles littering the lane. Also, the key ring wasn't the greatest momento ever! Otherwise I loved the race.

In short: A lovely location and route: highly recommended
In full: Despite undulations and a few sharp turns, this picturesque race was uncannily fast. The whole thing was well organised, and generally full of delight. One very minor gripe is that the finish funnel was too short and this led to a bit of a muddle about exact placings - but this really wasn't a big deal. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this race to anyone.

In short: A nice course with another PB to redeem the poor start
In full: Turned away from a 'full' carpark which clearly had spaces. Long queue for toilet resulted in a sprint for the start! However, a nice course with shelter from the wind and fantastic marshalling. Last year the hills seemed like mountains, this year molehills!
