In short: Good value and great PB potential
In full: Fast course but quite exposed so windy in places. Steel band was good but made me get a bit over excited! I liked that you could see the faster runners as the course looped around. Marshalls were great and the race was very well organised. The material goody bag was a nice touch, I am now proudly using it for my lunch at work.

In short: A Tremendous Fast Half
In full: I love the race, like the scenery, put up with the HQ, which is about at the limit for the number of runners...But there are three things that stand out 1. the course this a course derived for speed 2. the marshals who were fantastic as ever 3. (and most of all) I will gladly run 13.1miles for a lump of cake that good and that big!!!

In short: The Greatest South Run
In full: A little gem. well organised, unpretentious, fast and flat. Anyone who spent ages trying to get out of Gosport after the race might like to join my campaigne to re-open the railway line (tongue in cheek).

In short: Excellent race, well organised and thoroughly enjoyed it.
In full: A great race that I will definately be doing again next year, son loved the 'fun run' for the little ones, it's only drawback was the lack of public support, very few crowds around the route and through the airfield there were just the marshalls (who did an excellent job). Still a great course for a PB.

In short: great organisation, dull scenery, not my day
In full: really well organised - picking chip up on the day went like clockwork and the whole route was well marshalled and signed. route was a bit overcrowded at first but soon spread out. multiple loops around the airfield were very dull but quite fast. should have been perfect race for a pb - just not my day. if it were local i'd definitely do it again.

In short: My first half, and a great way to get started!
In full: Congratulations to GRR and all the marshalls for a great effort. It is amazing how the odd witty comment from a supporter can spur you on for another mile or so! The Samba Band were superb, and plonked in a great position where I could take my mind off a brisk cold breeze running aross the airfield!
Top goodie bag - especially the cake! Well done to whoever baked 2,000 of those!
Wish I had known about the massage, as my legs hurt like hell now!
