In short: PB potential.
In full: Flat with just up and down the underpasses and canal bridges. Weather was kind enough - cloudy & drizzle towards the ends, as it chucked it down later. I PB'ed, suspect many others did too. The course is fairly dull in many areas, but in the second half, quite a few spectators cheer you on.
I only rate it special cos I got such a good time. Well organised, but super expensive, charity or no.

In short: Where did that rain come from?
In full: 5th time doing this. Not the easiest, mainly thanks to lots of twists and turns and short but sharp hills. It's a nice course though, well organised with a great finish and nice medal.
Well done MK!

In short: Definitely one I'd do again, well run & marshalled, pleasantly quick course with twists, turns & short climbs to break it

In short: Nice flat course - well organised
In full: Ran this today - my first half-marathon. I found it quite an easy course - nice and flat. A big plus point was that it was almost entirely on cycle paths, which meant no cars! When the paths crossed roads the marshals made cars wait until the runners had passed. Well marshalled and organised, I'll certainly do it again. Entry fee was a bit steep though.
