Real mixed crowd from the elite runners to charity runners. The locals and marshals really raised my spirits with their friendly words of encouragement. Great run – will be back.

In short: lovely race, super marshalls and helpers,Parking and traffic let this down
In full: Very disappointed at the parking, massive traffic queues to get out of brentwood, having to use paying car parks. Race too big??

In short: Lovely run and well organised, encouraging support in the villages!
In full: Very enjoyable run and glorious weather. Fast start probably caught a few out - a few slow climbs and was slightly caught out by the rise in the final mile but PB of 1:34 in only my 3rd half-marathon. Great preparation for Paris marathon in 3 weeks. Be aware of cars but no problems.

In short: As good as ever!
In full: Cracking organisation as expected. Nice to see the added water stations - certainly helped to combat the rather unexpected heat. Traffic was as bad as usual but no worse than usual.
