In short: Poorly organised.
In full: REALLY poor organisation, no signs off the main road; Numbering system was chaos in the hall beforehand. Received snotty email from organiser before race. Marshalls were extremely miserable. Worst race I have done in quite a while.

In short: Great fast run
In full: Well organised flattish run down country lanes near cows. The hills aren't too bad, and with a PB, I'm well pleased.

In short: Great half marathon !! Stingy tail is defo a stinger !!!
In full: Enjoyed this one a challenging start gives way to a mild undulating course .... until the last bit The Sting In The Tail at 12 miles !!!! ran all the way till that bit but this is still a course In which a PB is acheivable.

In short: Great race-well organised
In full: enjoyed the race a little undulating!..... last hill was tough so maybe tricky for a begginer unless you resign to walk up the last hill. But really well mashaled and lovely run in the sunshine!

In short: organisers made a mistake took a wrong route as there were no marshalls at 12 miles
In full: Just started running, had mentioned to organisers that my time would be 2.30. Was well within that time, when just before 12 miles turned into a road which was the wrong route, there were no marshalls there. Realised my mistake 1/2 mile later also met a marshall there on his bike, ended up doing 14 miles and taking a bit longer. It could have been disastrous if I had continued and got lost in the countryside.
