In full: 3rd visit for me and noticing more of the scenery each year. Getting used to this great course and building familiarity with the (modest) undulations. Marshals were excellent throughout. Was impressed with smooth distribution of race package on day. Will definitely be back next year.

In short: A lovely canter
In full:
A lovely run through beautiful Hampshire
The coastal views were wonderful and the forest setting was perfect on a day made for running
Marshals were encouraging and the back of field banter amongst the runners was enjoyable ……………..
Organisation was great (I even had the results e-mailed to me a couple of hours after the race) and collection of numbers before the start was surprisingly swift and easy – but it could have been easy to miss the shoe bag memento …………

In short: Good peacful race, I had the ponies run in front of me too
In full: The route was good, abit confused on medal situtaion giving that it clearly states in the pre race info to 'hand in your timing chip at finish line in re-turn for your medal' will it be sent to us....? got a shoe bag thou. I would recomend a more orderly start getting people in their right time predictions rather than a mass scramble. would do it again as I got a PB :-)

In short: Very scenic half.
In full: Would have appreciated sports drinks at the stations in addition to water and also some form of memento would have been nice. Aside from that seeemed well organised overall.
I don't think it is particularly hilly - a couple of hills but nothing to get knickers in a twist over.
