In short: Most definately challenging especially the long Portway section (or was that just because it was 34 in the shade!) thanks for the late wake up call just before the finish " Uncovered shiney Cobbles). My first half marathon and thoroughly enjoyed it!

In short: It did convert a non runner. Next year I plan to run at least 4 10k's & 1/2 marathons

In short: Too many people for too narrow streets. Not enough toilets at start.

In short: As my home half marathon I was greatly disappointed by the "New Improved" Bristol Half Marathon. Delayed start, crowded roads, meant I couldn't get going. Gave me a PWorst.
