In full: 1st time 1/2 marathon. Well organized with friendly / cheerful marshalls all round. I think the car-park guys did a great job and ensured that everyone was parked up securely and in a timely fashion for the race start. Nice course, with plenty of scenic views. Well done to all.

In short: Was really quite dreading this after the weather forecast, but the organisation and the route was excellent. The support that cheered on in the villages was brilliant and the people at the finish that were standing in the wet was much appreciated.

In full: really enjoy this race, this year was just as good as last year, friendly crowd, undulating course, cracking organisation.... just need more toilets! (that and more small t-shirts at the end!!!) Is the only thing that would improve it... and for the second year in a row it was rainy and wet, but I think I like it even more for it :o) great marshalls standing out there in the rain, and some good support on the way round too. Definately back next year.
