In short: A well organised race with excellent chip timing including 5k splits
In full: A well organised race. Lots of parking. The chip timing was excellent and the 5k splits on the way were a real bonus. I think the bottled water available at regular intervals while running and sports drinks half way round made up for only a medal for finishing.

In short: Good race for my first half marathon...
In full: really enjoyed this one, very well organised. The course wasn't as flat as first envisaged but still more than good enough to get a decent time, was pleased with 1:37 for my first one. Medal was good, agree with other reviews that for the entry fee, more of a goody bag mightve been nice. I'll do it again next year though.

In short: Much improved over last year
In full: They got the timing chip problems sorted this year, and we even got 5K splits as well. Pretty well organised overall, no problems parking beforehand, and I thought there enough loos at the start myself. There was plenty of water available around the course but I would have liked some sort of goody bag at the end for the entry fee; nice medal though.
