In short: Great goody bag... more mile markers please!!!
In full: This was my second half marathon so found it a little tough not knowing where i was up to on the course, until i saw the mile 11 sign and knew I was nearly finished!!! Great spectator support and nice to get a medal and quality t-shirt.

In short: A fun event, atmosphere makes up for slightly repetitive course.
In full: Very wel organised and good value for money considering the goody bag, road closures, and the feel that this is a 'proper' event rather than a club run. Slightly repetitive course and quite crowded, but this is offset by great spectator support.

In short: Fun in the sun!
In full: Well organised, tremendous value in the superb nedal and excellent T-shirt and nice edibles in the goody bag! Quite a few hills, (up and down)and three lanes of runners on different laps/directions at one point. Any way it could go further into Torquay and avoid the two laps of Paignton Green, which were slow and crowded? But many thanks to the sponsors for the generous offer of 3 prizes for each age group, meaning I came away with a prize for the first time ever! We came on a girls weekend outing and all enjoyed the tremendous atmosphere, before and after the race. Well done, Torbay!

In short: My first competitive half, fantastic experience, thanks to the organisers
In full: If I had one gripe/suggestion it would be to maybe have sections within the starting i.e. for peoples expected finishing times, so that faster people who get stuck near the back don't have to fight through the crowds (not that I was particularly fast), this may make the start a little smoother for some. Otherwise a great day out and a really nice 'baptism' for me into the world of competitive half marathons. Well done to all involved in the event and I'll see you next year!!!
