In short: My local Half In full: Well marshalled and supported and much better this year without the "Walk the Walkers" starting in the middle of the field. Could be cheaper if the T shirt is optional Date of review: September 14, 2004

In short: Good race, for the second year running. I only wish the two hills (although not that big), around mile 11-12, could be removed from the course. Specators could also have been more up for it on the return to the city centre. Date of review: September 14, 2004

In short: A well-organised, professional half-marathon with lots of encouragement throughout. Really good 'family' atmosphere. Enjoyed this run so much that I am now moving to Bristol in March 2005! See you next year! In full: PS: I hope the gorilla who got cramp about 400m from the end is feeling alright!!!! Date of review: September 14, 2004

In short: A PB by 5 minutes. Plenty of drinks (water and energy) and in bottles/squishy bags that are easy to carry for a short distance. In full: The start was good, only 50 seconds or so to cross the line. It was good to hear announcements asking people to start by the markers where they really did expect to finish.
