In short: Lightning, monsoon, flood- well done everybody!
In full: Considering conditions I thought this was a fantastic race. Marshalls were great, general atmosphere was terrific. Well outside PB but I enjoyed the race and think everybody can be proud of themselves-organisers and runners alike. Good value and great countryside.

In short: A good half marathon in extremely bad conditions
In full: The marshal's were brilliant, stuck there standing in monsoon weather. The roads were ankle deep in water - runners were drenched, but spirit's were extremely high. This was a mldly challenging half marathon on a good day, but today it was made hard with the rain, wind, hail and strength it came down on us. Well done everyone who did it.

In full: It was very hard work due to the weather, and the waterlogged roads but i loved it. Marshals were encouraging,exspecialy the young ladies at one of the water station made me smile, also tea and bun served by some very nice people too

In short: Do this for the glorious scenery - not for a PB!
In full: Hilly? Yes. Monsoon weather conditions. Undoubtedly. But who cares - even the ankle-deep streams we were splashing through couldn't spoil the enjoyment. This a gem of a half: a very small field and run through glorious countryside with just a few cars in 13 miles. Terrific support from the hardy marshals. And incredible value too - a medal and a t-shirt included in a very modest entry fee. Thank you, Downton!
