In short: Wet, windy, scenic, loved it!
In full: Great run, really well organised except perhaps for the spectators as I heard a few moaning about finding it hard to find the finish line as there were no signs and no-one to ask. That's probably because all the marshalls were on the track as it was very well marshalled. Would definitely do again!

In short: Very well organised, challenging race.
In full: An excellent race. First 8.5 miles uphill so pretty tough but with a satisfyingly fast finish. Very well marshalled and organised with good crowd support. Hope the guy who collapsed is OK.

In short: Miles better than boring old Bath!
In full: Who wants to slog round boring old Bath when there's this gem? Tough in parts, yes, but well organised, enthusiastically marshaled and fabulous scenery. Well done to the lads doing the car parking too.

In short: A real half marathon
In full: Lovely scenery, the inclines were all do-able, and all downhill from nine miles. One of the best half marathons, with a little work could be the best.
