In short: Very enjoyable
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed this race. New start made the race even better. And particularly like the stats that accompany the results, especially the feature that lets you know how many competitors you overtook in the second half of the race and how many overtook you. Looking forward to next year's race already.

In short: Flat, fast, not too crowded, good support all round. Great for all runners
In full: Whilst the suburbs of Peterborough are not necessarily the most scenic, the support is always cheerful and noisy. The course is flat and fast, and never over crowded, you can get into your pace easily, great for pb's whether you are at the front or back. Good clear marshalling and 4 water stations. Good as a first time half marathon or for experienced runners keen to hit the times.

In short: Great day - need more toilets
In full: Great race, a PB for both of us.
Well organised from start to finish, much better with a central start/finish.
Disapointed to see the 'pre start warm clothing' had not been picked up for charity.
Need more toilets it seemed a lot less than in the city last year. You could always try restricting them to runners only before the start.
Roll on 2013.

In short: Superb in every way!
In full: I only ever ran this event back in 2002 and didn't like the course at the time. However, the new course was absolutely excellent: flat, fast, well supported and marshalled. A superb medal and excellent t-shirt, plus Jaffa cakes, bananas etc, plus a nice bag made it excellent value-for-money. All going well I shall return next year.
