In short: sunshine, flat, great atmosphere - great way to spend a sunday morning.
In full: I love this race, not least because it finishes a mile from my parents' home and a well-earned Sunday roast! The weather was perfect, and the atmosphere was lively - a thoroughly enjoyable race!

In short: Well done, organisers!
In full: A well organised event, a course on quiet country lanes, smiling marshalls, enough water stations, ... altogether a great day out! I would definitely do it again, even though the wind was indeed quite annoying on the first 6 miles today.

In short: Well-organised race on a fast course
In full: I enjoyed this race; the organisation was slick, the course fast (well, apart from the head wind for the first half and the short climb over the railway towards the end!) and it was incredibly good value compared with other half marathons I've done. Nice mug at the finish, and even the T-shirts were much better value than normal. Thanks to all at White Horse Harriers, I'll certainly do this one again.

In short: Cheap and very cheerful
In full: A well-organised, flat run through some pleasant countryside, and a couple of pretty villages (with a decent turnout of supporters). I will do this one again

In short: super no frills half
In full: very straightforward no frills out and back flat rural half. well marshalled, markers pretty accurate, plenty of room at start. good for pb hunters as well as socials. all in all does what you'd like. wish a few other races were like this. a choccy bar at the end would be nice but it feels churlish to carp.
