In short: Intersesting start - loos plus
In full: Fine weather and run. Second time for me and will probably do it again. Found loos difficult and the start confusing but nothing too much trouble. My first run as a club member so enjoyed bumping into others, a pleasant change and run.

In short: Nice Course - better organization - i.e. have toilets arrive well before start of race!
In full: Second time I have done this one. The course is good and not too hilly, so ideal if you haven't done many halfs before. That said the organization this year could have been a bit better, as for some reason the portaloos didn't arrive until 15 minutes before the start of the race. I thought 10am was an early start, but the heat this year meant it was ideal to get going at that time!

In short: good race fast course but £2 for emailed results is too costly
In full: A good race and half mile markers good idea but why £2 for emailed results. I understand charging for posting results due to costs of paper, copying and postage and time but to charge for emailing is not on.

In short: Friendly people, good PB course but £2 for results which I'm still waiting for!
In full: Very good, scenic course with definite PB potential - my wife beat her PB by 10 minutes! Lack of marshalling at finish and presentations a bit chaotic. Results scenario rankles not only for cost but for wait - will they ever arrive? Would do it again but I wonder how many of the organisers are actually runners?

In short: Bigger than I expected - about 600 runners I think
In full: There were plenty of good runners putting in times as good as 1:11 and plenty like myself doing closer to 2 hours. Everyone very friendly so I didn't feel out of place on my first half marathon. My first race for that matter.

In short: Flatish course that's good for first timers.
In full: This is the first time I've run this course. There were no directions or course map supplied and no clear start line. I didn't know the race had begun until everyone started running. A very flat course that with a bit more organisation will be a great run for beginners and PB's.
