In short: FANTASTIC COURSE, ORGANISATION & ATMOSPHERE... A "MUST DO" RACE !!!
In full: Second time at T.Wells for me and in terms of weather, a complete contrast from 2010!Beautiful weather, fantastically picturesque course (although you tend to lose sight of this when clambering up Spring Hill!), exceptional marshalling, enthusiastic crowds/drummers and Dame Kelly Holmes... what more could you want!
Despite the hilly profile of this course i managed to take two minutes off of my half p.b, so despite my fairly low rating for "p.b potential" it is possible.
In short, i love this race and will definitely do it for as long as my legs allow!!!

In short: Best race so far!
In full: I did the Eridge 10m last year also organised by the Harriers and thought that was the best event ever, but I this one was even better! So well organised, so friendly and such a great route. It was my first half marathon and would have never thought I would do 1.31 hrs but it just was all so positive and upbeat! I will be back next year for sure!

In short: Brilliant
In full: My first time running this half and it was brilliant. The weather was beautiful and that helped with the atmosphere. I have never seen so many marshals/ volunteers and the marhalls on the loos were brilliant. A very challenging course but I would do this race again and again. I was at Brighton half last week and that was a farce maybe the organisers for that should go and speak to TW harriers and see how a race should be run.

In short: Great weather and another PB!`
In full: A good race this year with some 2067 finishers in a warm weather event, the only problem was the lack of water at the finish and goody bags for anyone completing in over 2hrs 10. It was my third year of competition and I would say its one of my favorite races.
