In short: Hilly, rainy but great to finish it!
In full: This was my first half marathon and what a start! The three miles uphill at the beginning nearly had me turning around especially as it was driving wind and rain. Very glad to finish though and a real sense of achievment. Would like to do it again in nicer weather.

In short: My third year at this and i love the challenge of it.
In full: Shame there was no T-Shirt this year, seems a bit mean as the mug is a bit disappointing for the £11 entry fee.
