In full: One of the best organised Half Marathons i've taken part in, excellent goodie bag and its good to be presented with a medal. I would also like to add my sincere thanks to all the marshalls who braved the atrocious weather all morning and still gave me a smile and encouragement to the end. Fantastic, thank you.

In full: This was my first time on the course and loved every minute of it despite the appalling weather. Fantastic organisation, the marshalls were great especially standing in the wet for a few hours and good support from members of the public en route. Dame Kelly was a bonus and the goody bag at the end was good (thankfully a race that still likes to give out medals!) The hill was a bit of a killer but made it and was a great race in preparation for London. Well done, superb race!

In full: I can't believe they had Kelly Holmes there all day!! contacts or what!!
I loved the pace groups, great idea, throw in the really supportive marshals and you could almost forget the dreadful weather..

In short: FABULOUS ! What more can you ask from an event - absolutely nothing.
In full: Organisation, infrastructure (that's HQ, signage, baggage, loos and stuff - they even had proper portaloo urinals !!), atmosphere, marshals, safety - all brilliant. How do the TW Harriers manage to put on an event like this - outclasses anything else we've ever done. The weather was truly diabolical, but it only added to the atmosphere and cameraderie. So unusual to have pacers at an event like this too - a great piece of 'added value'. And Kelly Holmes on the start, and on the finish line for several hours. Wow! Massive thanks to all of the organisers.
