In short: Flat course made challenging in parts as runners have to run across shingle in places. Easy to follow course with plenty of drink stations. Plenty of parking at the start/finish making it an easy race to get to.

In short: Great fun, great run and great scenery
In full: Thanks to all for the organisation of the event. Was my first half marathon and really enjoyed it from beginning to end. Was great to have an off road race and run along the shore, showing the non locals how lovely Portsmouth is outside of gunwharf quays! Great touch having the time chip, i have only been given those for the bigger runs like GSR none of the smaller road races i have done have had those. Would love to do it again :)

In short: A good race with a challenging final section.
In full: To the young lady marshal in the red Corsa, you shouldn't park behind the start line and let 600 people line up before realising you have to drive through them to get to your marshalling point! Classic. Gave everyone a good laugh and set up a good atmosphere, especially when you managed to get stuck in the gravel! The race was good, although I'd agree with the comments on drinks stations being oddly spaced.
