In short: Great friendly marshals and good value race for the money. The cake was welcomed in the goodie bag. Unfortunately achieved a personal worse due to plastic cups, if this had been advertised would have brought s bottle, lost 10 minutes off PB .

In short: Best Half for PB
In full: Turned up having put very little training in the past couple of months expecting around 1:45. Got 1:37. Can't argue with that.
Good baggage and changing areas. Usual problems with the loos, but if you've got 2000 people all hunting for one at the same time there has to be problems. Race went off on-time without a hitch.
Views not inspiring, but plenty of open space - didn't feel crowded. Course was flat as a pancake - designed for PBs. Nice run along the waterfront around miles 11-12.
Nice goody bag at the end, although I preferred the cup of tea I got out of the refreshments area.
Not elitist in the slightest.
Doesn't get much better than this.

In full: Cake at the end in the goodie bag was specially good.

In short: not traffic free completely and bit too flat for me
In full: Organisation good, not all traffic free which was disappointing as not easy to run on footpaths sometimes. Water in cups which again makes it hard to drink and you have to stop. start not that well organised.. starting areas not enforced and faster runners overtaking many slower ones that should have been further back.

In short: Excellently organised
In full: My first Half Marathon race and I was very impresssed. Organisation like clockwork. Although there are a lot of club runners I still felt very welcome (2:10 time) marshalls were fantastic , so I have no problem recommending for first timers

In short: Not for First Time Half Marathon Runners
In full: The speed of nearly every runner was increadible and definetly not for first time half marathon runners. This run is for club runners and for speed.
