In short: brilliantly organised and a very nice place to run
In full: Considering this was the first time the Badger had been run I was very impressed with the whole set up including the clear directions, the encouraging marshalls, the full goodie bag and start and finish being so well organised.
Well done, and thanks for organising a very enjoyable run!
Count me in next year!

In short: Tough climbs, lots of mud, lovely scenery, hardly any road
In full: Made a change from the usual road Half-marathons. Set in the very scenic Norbury Park on trails and tracks, which I assume would have usually been much drier at the end or summer (what summer). Good Marshalls, water stations, and goody bag to finish.
Not one for PB's but enjoyable. Starter was particulary entertaining!

In short: A difficult half but worth the effort.
In full: Hilly was a bit of an understatement, added to the mud made this at times hard work, but it was very enjoyable. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and the course was interesting and varied. Agree with the comment about the mile markers, and also with this not spoiling the experience. Same time next year...
