In short: Great race for beginner and expert.
In full: My second year at this race. Weather vile this time but this made the race more fun in my eyes. Organisation good, friendly atmosphere and i think very beginner friendly. Was my first ever half-marathon last year and i'll keep going back.

In short: Scenic race with sea and rural views
In full: A wet and windy day made for slow times. Thank-you to the marshals who stood in the rain. A towel instead of another T shirt was a welcome change.

In short: Great race but horrible weather!
In full: A nice friendly well organised event, I turned up on my own but made some friends on the way round. Great marshals and fab water stations, there was even cake and biscuits at 9 miles! I was absolutely soaked at the end, but enjoyed myself despite the atrocious conditions and was pleased with my time. Nice course, and definitely a better choice than Run to the Beat!

In short: Great race, rubbish weather.
In full: Really enjoyed the race, thanks to all the Marshalls, especially those on the more remote, rural parts, who must have been pretty wet and cold but we're stillr really encouraging.
