In short: first half marathon and a 5 min walk home
In full: Well this was my first half marathon and it was good fun. Good route, lots of support and only 1 or 2 hills lol. The one at the end was just to much!! Great organisation and directions were easy to follow. If I'm mad enough to consider a half marathon again I'll defo do this one

In short: Fab local event
In full: I ran this for the first time in 2011 and took about 10 minutes off my time this year to get a PB. Well organised, friendly marshals, great support, bespoke medal, and 5 minutes' walk from my house. What more do you need?

In full: 3rd time I've done the event and must say I believe the change of route helped the atmosphere. Especially going twice downhill through the town centre.

In short: Amazing support from people and great overall organisation
In full: This was a great race as it had a great mix of running through town and also running in the country.
The support from the people who came to watch was amazing and made a huge difference to the atmsphere!
The organisation was brilliant and clear in terms of what you had to do and where you had to go.
This was a great race and one to remember for a long time!

In short: Running through the High Street, twice, was very special
In full: Good first half, and ending to the race. The countryside part was lethal though. Maybe because I was running with a dodgy back which pretty much marred the whole event....one part felt like a never-ending incline. But hey, it was good - maybe back next year if my back problem doesn't stop me running altogether....

In short: Excellent well organised and supported race
In full: Really enjoyed this race (and not just because of another PB). Support through town was excellent and very uplifting. Even that hill 1/2 mile from the end didn't dampen spirits as flying down the other side was a fun way to finish. Well organised and easy to get to and, importantly, away from after the race. Would recommend this event to anyone and will be back next year.
