In short: My first Half Marathon - good for F1 fans!
In full: Smooth organisation, good start line atmosphere.
Wasn't sure what to expect as it was my first half marathon - didn't get the 2hours that I hoped for, all went a bit wrong between 8 and 10 miles.
Will be back next year!

In short: Great London Preparation
In full: The first three & last three miles are a good experience. The middle seven are a bit lonely. But for the time of start 12.00 & PB potential - well worth entering.

In short: Very well organised and definitely worth the trip. Racing circuit conducive to speed! Could be a morale booster for the London Marathon if the training is going to plan. Only down side was the queue out of the car park afterwards.

In short: Worth doing once in your life, esp. if you're a motor-racing fan.
In full: Got a PB - well organised, although the queue to get in was a bit much (but understandable considering the number of entrants). It made me realise how much I like hills......

In short: A good run for PBs and for first timers for Half marathons, would have probaly perfered a bit more atmosphere, on the whole good.
