In short: Very good race, good for first timers
In full: First time I've done this race and I'm glad I did. Good conditions, nice scenery and relatively flat, the sting at 12 miles isn't anything to worry about if you're used to hills. Will do this one again next year!

In short: A good half whatever your abillities !!
In full: Had a great time on this course today (my 20th half marathon), it's the perfect tonic for a post marathon run as the course is largely kind on the pins with only 2 or 3 hills worth worrying about (The stinger) at 12 miles didn't seem as bad this year but it still reminds you of your legs and lungs existence tho !!
Overall this race is worth making an effort for and I will health permitting be back next year ( oh aye and the medal wasn't bad neither )

In short: Fastest course I'm been on!
In full: The flattest course I've been on! The hill at the start wasn't a problem. Then winding country roads through lovely scenic countryside, mostly flat. The sting did get me but I managed it. I got a PB! Organised very well, thanks.
