In short: i have run this everyyear since 2002
In full: A brilliant race. What makes this race is the fact that the Gosport runners also help with the marshalling, because they run the same route the previous day, Jo thanks for the support you give farnham runners

In short: A race of two halves - Scenically
In full: The Gosport Half is a fast and flat course around Gosport and along Stokes Bay. Its a course of two halves one side of the course is run along Stokes Bay with excellent views across the Solent. Crossing Haslar bridge you get stunning views across the yacht harbour with the Spinnaker Tower in front of you. This leads you to the other side of the course which takes in Gosport town very urban.

The course itself is 1 small lap and 2 large it is well marshalled, I personally felt no threat from the traffic, drink stations well manned and evenly spaced.

Managed V40 PB by 4mins so pleased with that.

Well done Gosport RR for another good race.

In short: Fantastic
In full: I say the same thing every year. This is a great race, my favourite in fact. The organisation is brilliant as are the marshalls (thanks by the way). The weather is always perfect when I do this race and I always PB. What else do you need. Well done and congratulations to the organisers...you did it again.

In short: A great race, thanks to all who arrange it, nice medal!!
In full: This is my first Gosport half, and I feel sure it won't be my last. So well organised, loads of parking, loads of marshalls, and plenty of space at the start/finish. I did feel a bit sorry for the Nike truck, which turned up, but you know we just weren't bothered! Thanks once again.

In short: Best event I've been in for ages
In full: Some of the bigger races could learn a thing or two from this event. Well done, and thankyou.Perfect!
Couple of questions - would it not be better for wheelchair racers to have a head start?
Why can only ladies have coloured t-shirts?!
