In short: A brilliantly organised race and wonderful scenary
In full: Love the course, wonder why I do city events. Friendly marshalls at all points, I accept the previous point about bottles for water, but that cannot happen unless the wtaer company sponsors the event.

In short: Well Organised and Scenic
In full: Can't fault the organisation, although as with most half marathons I am not keen on the use of cups rather than bottles for water.

In short: very well organised with encouraging marshalls, fairly undulating route
In full: Will definitely do this one again, excellent marshalls, plenty of water stops plus the sponges were welcome. Certainly quite undulating so very happy with 3rd faster time, will be back next year
