In short: Great little race
In full: Nothing flash or fancy. You get a road (flat and quiet) and a race (perfect sized field and well marshalled). No carnival. No trinkets. Has the feel of luxury food packaged as Tesco's own brand. True quality without the hype.

In short: Easy to see why this sold out so far in advance
In full: It's easy to see why this race is so popular. With some of the big city half marathons charging an entry fee in excess of £30 it's no surprise more people are preferring an event that only costs £8 in such straitened times.
Very flat course, disappointed I was a few seconds outside my PB but enjoyed the run which is the most important thing. Very well marshalled and supported for a small local event.
Liked the design on the mug more than the last two years and the option of buying a race t-shirt is excellent, I nearly bought two as they were of a very high quality and again a steal at just a fiver.
Thanks WHH for an excellent event, see you again next year.

In short: Wonderful 1/2M, was lucky to get a returned number as it was sold out!
In full: Parking ok, though not ideal - well instructed in the handbook/flyer sent out though. Beautiful route along country lanes. Only compliant - Putting the post-race water station at the end of the 'funnel' leading race finishers out of the area caused a bit of a queue, given a warm day. Could be moved for next yr!

In full: This is what it's all about in my view. Great value, great course, really good organisation and good support from the marshalls all the way round. Will most certainly be back. Thanks to all involved in making this a hassle free event.
