In short: A very enjoyable event and well organised
In full: From my point of view there were no hitches with the organisation of this race. I enjoyed the scenery and the course was pretty benign (which was helpful as I set off way too fast!). Support around the course was patchy at times, but where there were crowds of people they were great. The wooden medal was a nice touch. An expensive event but I'd recommend doing it at least once!

In short: Fantastic race through some of the best bits of London!
In full: The atmosphere was great and definitely one for beginners - this was my first half marathon since I started running in April.
It was very well organised with plenty of water points, although I agree with the comments about toilets!
Couldnt face the food, but the family enjoyed it!

In short: recommended for people who like london events
In full: I liked the t-shirt - good to have one that you can train in rather than a cotton one post race. If only I had trained... a well organised event overall. More toilets needed - if you get there early you only end up needing to go again. Loads of free food and I particularly appreciated the percy pigs. Pretty medal. Was crowded in places but this is to be expected with an event this size. As I approached the start line everyone was walking, but as soon as we hit the chip start we broke into a run.

In short: Best HM in London
In full: Lucky enough to get entry to and run all three RPHMs and consider it a great race on a flat and fairly open course given the number of runners.
All the sights of central London, great organisation and marhsalling, lots of freebies
and plenty of spectators/support on the course. And the weather was good, too.
Shame about the motif on and colour of the t-shirt (2009 as bad); the 2008 shirt was much better.
