In short: Flat as pancake, fantastic momento!
In full: Probably one of the best quality momento's I have received so far in 5 years of racing - glass block with 2 runners in middle & engraved with Belvoir Half & year. 2nd time doing this race and new PB of 1.25.26. It's a definite put your foot down and try and hold on kind of race. Three other team mates also got PB's as well! The only downside was the toilets & queues. I know it is a tough call for the organisers, but I think they need to get more porta-loos in for next year. Really enjoyed the race and will definitely be back again next year.

In short: Great Scenery, no challenging hills and really unique memento
In full: Really enjoyed this race. Friendly atmosphere - I chatted with a few locals round the course - and organisation was good. Glass block memento was a real surprise and far better than most "big" events hand out. Course was good PB material. I used this as a last half before London so wasn't racing and still got to within a minute or so of my PB (91mins) - though I await the results as I was "Garmin-less". Would highly recommend.

In short: Organisation worked like clockwork in this fast flat friendly race
In full: The marshalling was excellent and friendly as always. It was good to see a staggered start which eliminated the bottlenecks in 2007. I had a bad run after insufficient training this year but will be back to improve the PB I got last time I ran it.
