In short: Challenging end to a cool race
In full: Parking at the start of the race was a bit of a nightmare due to congestion but after that the whole experience was very good. Good support on the course some challenging miles towards the end...would definitely do it again.

In short: Defiantly one of the "feel good" races on the calendar!
In full: What a surprisingly excellent course & race! Great start once we got onto the main road with plenty of space to find a comfy pace, then into the traffic free country lanes that where a pleasure to run on! Fantastic support in all the villages we went through, ample drinks stations & I must say the best marshalling I've come across!. everything was 5* about this race including the last quarter of a mile which opened up into quite the epic, noisy & satisfying finish imaginable!

In full: Great race well organised and well supported by the good people of Lichfield, Whittington and Fradley. Start is a little congested and needs tweaking but didn't detract from a fantastic day, Water statons were frequent but would suggest smaller bottles of water. PB potential with some sneaky little hills thrown in just for fun. Overall, great race, fantastic finish will definitely be back next year....... Oh little disappointed with my momento, would have preferred a medal, although I am a medal junkie!

In short: Great
In full: Had a great run found it a nice cool down after VLM and well organised. One gripe tho urinals next to the car park where every one can see you take a pee and not enough portaloos for 1400 runners bursting for a pee that might count as 2 gripes. But thoroughly enjoyed the run plenty of water stations and an isotonic station too. I'll be back next year for sure nice finish and plenty of support quiet in places but very scenic th elast hump back bridge was a little cheeky on the legs as well.

In short: nice scenic undulating course - execellent support, marshalls and organisation
In full: Great race with a few challenging stages. Very well organised, supported and huge thanks to the friendly marshalls. Start is a little cramped and difficult to get going. Overall a fantastic race- would definately recommend.

In short: Superb organisation and great course
In full: Very scenic course with plenty of variety to keep you interested. Seemed to be more water stops than last year and the marshalling and volunteers really were excellent. Mildly challenging which is good and great atmosphere at the end - really well done to Paul and everyone else at kpevents.

In short: I've just completed the Lichfield half and was very impressed - lovely scenic route with friendly locals who were very supportive. Only gripe is that cups rather than bottles of water would have been much better. Hope to be back next year!

In short: Smashing, Super, Great
In full: Excellent organisation, great marshalling, loved the support through the villages and the friendliest police officers I've ever met. As a slower runner I think someone else must of had the goodies out of my goody bag I only got a memento and baseball cap oh and lots of advertising literature. Never mind had a great time and I'll be back next year. Thank you KP Events and well done for organising the sunshine.

In full: I wasn't in best condition to run this race today but I'm so glad I made the effort to run it. It was very well organised and there was a good atmosphere throughout. The marshals along the route were very encouraging. Will definitely try to get this into my schedule for next year.
