In short: good pb potential in interesting surroundings
In full: obviously you guys dont do much running! even london marathon doesnt have water stations every mile. what do you want the organisers to do run for you? enjoy the scenery and the weather this was a decent half. goody bag/tshirt would have been nice though!

In short: Interesting course but not enough water!
In full: The course seemed a little short - 12.8 according to my GPS but otherwise it was a decent enough course with a couple of steep hills to challenge the legs. With more water stations & a goody bag it could have been a good event. I'll give it another try next year.

In short: The route was nice but the goody bag was rubbish.
In full: I enjoyed the run, but nearly took a wrong turn a couple of times due to slack marshalling. I was gutted to see the goody bag - there wasn't a medal (or even a bag). We did get the socks, though. I would do it again, but expect organisation to be improved next year.

In short: not what was promised need to work on organisation.
In full: this was my first half marathon and the course was good but the lack of mile markers and water stations was a big disappointment and the organisers need to look at there marshalling or lack of it in places. i would do it again if the people who made the promise's and organised the whole thing, did what they promised on all the advertising.definitely,definitely could do better. i hope they do cos i enjoyed the course.

In short: No water ,no mile markers, no medal,must try harder!!!!!!!!
In full: The organisers need to work on this one.I expected water stations every mile not every 4.3.A goody bag would have been nice considering the price!!!!!!
