In short: Portaloos with SOAP - now that 's CLASS
In full: Diabolical weather, but all the more credit to the organisers for putting on a truly remarkable event. Fantastic organisation, pre race and on the day, great traffic management, wonderful atmosphere, mixing it with both a para world record holder and a double olympic champion, AND pump soap in the plentiful portaloos - a world class show. An amazing experience. Would recommend to anyone.

In short: Kelly Holmes was worth the entrance money alone!
In full: Just a great race. Well organised, well marshalled, traffic was controlled excellently, and then at the finish is a double olympic champion handing out the medals and goody bags in the awful weather. What a superstar.

Also was great to see kelly at the start and again at the finish. well done all see you next year

In short: Fantastic, great route and very well organised
In full: My second time running the TW half, beat last year's time by one minute! Great course, challenging hill half way through that makes the last 5-6 miles of flat road seem like a gift.
Really impressed with the organisation and great t-shirt/medal.
Great crowd - really enjoyed it, despite getting my feet soaked running through flooded roads!
Thanks to TW Harriers for a great race.
