In short: Great atmosphere, and great for first time half marathoners as the terrain is about as easy as it gets. Although the route is around the race track, you do not run any part of the same section twice, so it's not as monotonous as many would think.

In short: Traffic bad last year due to road works, should be ok this year but allow at least an hour extra in the journey time as many people arrived late for the start of the race, despite the organisers delaying the start by half an hour

In short: The flatness of the course means you could probably get a PB, crowds permitting, but the course is so boring I lost the will to live, let alone run!!
