In short: From the perspective of a first time Half-Marathoner, this was the type of race that makes you want to come back for more punishment. -
In full: As one of the youngest racers there, I was overwhelmed by how friendly the whole thing was: already looking forward to next year...

In short: A challenging but friendly mixed terrain half marathon with some nice touches.
In full: What a fun event with a small field of 230 runners and a friendly atmosphere. As it is an out and back course the slower and faster runners shout encouragement to each other as they pass. The organiser Dr. Rob adds some wonderfully eccentric touches including a wife carrying race and singing the national anthem at the start.
The terrain is mixed, mud, sand and a little bit of road and quite hilly. The marshalls were friendly and encouraging. The water stops included jelly babies and maltesers. At the end you get a bright yellow T shirt (with your name included in a list on the back) and a clear plastic paperweight featuring four runners in 3D; beats a medal. There are showers available after and you even get a cooked breakfast.
Can't wait until next year. Well done to all involved.
