In short: Really well organised and great value!
In full: All good, no issues. Big thanks to Jacky for helping me around following a recent injury.
Enjoyed the run this morning, not as hard as I was expecting, if I hadnt been nursing an injury it would have been almost perfect.
Will be back again next year. Great value too. £13 for a good race, and a tee shirt! cant ask for much more than that.

In short: Racenewforest does it again!!
In full: Yet again Richard and his team have excelled themselves and staged a tremendous race. Chip timing excellent, great to get instant results on screen at the end. Good atmosphere. Weather helped, apart from a cool headwind on many sections. Most enjoyable, and a PB for me. That said it was my first half marathon outside of two Half Ironman triathlons. Will do more, and definitely back for this race next year!!

In short: Shh....I want to keep this quiet
In full: Travelled a fair way for this one. What a truly excellent race! Not a PB course due to hills. Great scenery, 200 people max, friendly marshalls, good organisation. Free Tea and buns, medal and a T-Shirt....but dont tell anyone. Ok?

In short: All round great race, challenging enough & great views
In full: A course with great scenery on the edge of the New Forest. A couple of good climbs add some challenge and there are plenty of bends to keep you wondering about what is coming next. Superb.
