In short: Really wish I didn't have to wait another year to run it again
In full: I find it hard to add to my own comments for the last two years or the other comments on here.
Comfortably my favourite half marathon, the fact that I always register my slowest time for the year here notwithstanding.
Some might query why I rate it so highly on beginner-friendliness, but my rationale here is that if newcomers came to this one they would see how a race should really be organised and the glorious scenery, jelly babies, friendly runners and marshals, slick organisation, excellent value for money and goodie bag would be more than enough to tempt them to sign up again.
My only complaint is that I have to wait a year to do it again - is there any way this could become a bi-annual event??
Thank you Hogweed Trotters for such a marvellous event and a great day out.
