In short: Tougher than expected, not the most scenic - and a *very* long first mile!!
In full: I hope someone has got the common-sense to go and measure that first mile and put us all out our misery. WAY long! And this was a HILLY course and I'm used to 'em. That last one as you turned the corner was a killer. Yes, I did run all the way up .... only just though!

In short: hills!!!
In full: That last hill at 11.5miles was a killer - did anyone actually run all the way up it? It was my first stop and I was so disappointed, before that hill I thought I was going to finish the race without stopping (it would of been a first)!!! It was my second half marathon and I managed a PB so that was good, best start training now for the Robin Hood marathon - I thought that was hilly but nothing compared to this one!! Thank you to everyone that was cheering, the atmosphere was really good!!

In short: wow, tough this one
In full: thanks to james hilton 2, about his comment of adding at least 10 mins to your time, as this was only my second half it could have been a bit demoralising,i only knocked 1 min off my pb,we kept going up the hills but never seemed to come down!!!!!

In short: Start could have been on wider/longer road. I'm convinced 1st mile was long. The turnout ofsupport was very good. An enjoyable race.

In short: A great run and a worthy replacment for the potters marathon.
In full: tougher than i expected, add at least 10 mins to your expected time. quite hilly, watch out for the last hill, turn the left hand corner and weep!
