In short: I tackled this as my first half and I'm back for the third year. The field has multiplied and the organisation gets slicker. An entertaining course for all but the committed flat street enthusiasts.

In short: Perfect for a speedy off-road race
In full: It is lovely to be off-road, but still be able to run fast. The trails this race is run on are hard, so I don't reckon you lose much time over tarmac races. The atmosphere and organisation are great, this is one to do time and again. Thanks to the organisers for another enjoyable race!

In short: First half marathon and loved it
In full: This was my first half marathon and I was very nervous, I needn't have worried, the atmosphere , the supporters and the marshalls were all great, everything was well organised, the scenery was beautiful, and it was nice not running on roads. I will definately be doing this race again next year. Well done to the organizers, and thanks for a memorable 1st attempt. Think I've now got the bug!

In short: First time at this race - will not be the last. Loved it.
In full: Great organisation, plenty of parking, toilets & drinks stations. Very enthusiastic marshalling & support. What more could you ask for? Very jealous of people who can run in this area all year round. Not a pb for me, but a favourite half, and I'll train harder for the hills next year.
