In short: I had a great day, although my legs rebelled at the hill on mile 12, and my heart sank! Not enough loos at the start, but otherwise really good organisation

In short: generally good with some faults.
In full: My fifth Half Marathon and the biggest field by far, need more toilets, and the energy stations had run out by the time I got there!
Bad news hill at mile 12, esp. as course was described as flat.Car parking expensive at ten quid, and depressing having to run away from the finish line to do a hairpin and then run back towards it, otherwise great fun!

In short: Had a fantastic time achieving a PB, only 2nd one and Bath was so badly organised so this was a real delight

In short: Atmosphere fantastic - the marshals were really supportive and there were plenty of drinks (water and energy) provided. However it did have more hills than I expected for a course described as "flat".. a particularly nasty one at about mile 12.

In short: poor distance markers and a free-for-all the the finish, but otherwise generally good - worth doing!
