In short: Excellent Half Marathon
In full: This is probably one of the best all round half marathons I have done this year. The organisation has been superb, no parking problems or toilet queues, the scenery was excellent and the course was a real mix of flat, hills and a couple of steep hills!,the marshalls were very encouraging and cheery especially on such a cold day. Big congratulations to the organisers. I'll definetley be back next year...oh yeah, the cuppa and the bun at the end was a real nice touch.
