In short: More difficult that you may think!
In full: Started off too quickly, paid for it big time at 11 miles but still got a PB of 1:43 so can't moan too much. Water stations couldn't get the water out quick enough so missed out at the 6 mile mark when I needed some fluids & in general there wasn't a great deal off support from marshalls all the way around the course - the general public who came to watch were great though. I am definately doing this one again & will be better off for the experience this year!

In short: Rather lonely from miles 6 - 12 being at the back but marshalls were brilliant - very supportive. Drinks stations greatly appreciated and sponges were a nice touch and much neeeded.

In short: Good race with a nice countryside feel once you've left the main roads behind you.
In full: Really enjoyed this race which was my first ever half marathon.Plenty of helpful marshalls and seemed to be pretty well organised.The "sting in the tail" wasn't as bad as i feared originally and i even managed to jog (slowly) up it.See you there in 2010.

In short: Nice Race, Nice People, hills !! well organised
In full: run by the local lions club, and the stewards are great (registration staff a bit unfriendly) great race, well worth the effort and nice scenery. I have done it for 2 years and would do it again. PB this year ! there are only two minor critisisms, firstly the tee shirts are only for pre registrations (I can see why but it should be made clear on the RW web site) and secondly the medal is a big let down, if you are doing it for the medal only, go to the fairground and win one on the grabber, it will be better quality. BUT a fantastic little race all round!!
