In short: My first Half-Marathon, very well organised & supported!
In full: A bit hectic at the start and toilets were a bit thin on the ground. Marshalling and water stations were great! Good support throughout and nice medal at the finish!!

In short: My first MK Half...
In full: A good run, wonderful weather, nice medal, some encouraging marshals, as well as a scenic surprising course that was not entirely flat made for a great day! Constructive critisism: A shuttle bus, or information how to get from MK Central Station to the OU Campus would have been welcome, as a minicab cost £6.50! I'll never forget the small child who offered me some jelly beans after I finished!
