In short: very well organised with encouraging marshalls, fairly undulating route
In full: Will definitely do this one again, excellent marshalls, plenty of water stops plus the sponges were welcome. Certainly quite undulating so very happy with 3rd faster time, will be back next year

In short: More Challenging than I expected. The exposed roads made running in the wind tiring, but will be back.
In full: Got there early which made parking easier. However when you think we take the village over for at least half a day I thought they were very welocoming. Marshalling was very good. Hope the school gets cleaned up ok.

In full: Lovely race with friendly marshalls, frequent drink stops and well defined mile markers. Not the flatest of courses but worth the trip.

In short: My first half-marathon race, and the last one before London! The hills made it hard work on the legs but the marshalls were really supportive...'this is the last hill!' was proven to be wrong rather too many time though! Even so, had a great time.
