In short: well organised, good water stops great crowd support
In full: My first 1/2 marathon. All the hills were at the beginning which in hindsight was good.Impressed by the water stations and the range of drinks. Loads of people cheering which made me feel good!
Will definately do next year and try to go faster! Have nothing to compare it to so don't know if it was hard or not. Will wear my t-shirt with pride

In full: I think that hill at 3mile marker was a killer, but that water stations were well placed and im fairly happy with the day. Nice weather to run in

In short: Excellent
In full: Another superbly organised event. Frequent water stations are well manned and crowd encouraging all the way through. The hilly 1st half of the course make it a real challenge but strangely enjoyable at the same time. One note - Sort out the medal, campared to last years it was poor, more like an advertisement for the sponsor.
