In short: Hilly
In full: 2nd year running this race and the hills dont get easier!! The two miler is a killer. Good race, Perth Road Runners put on a really good spread. Still using my canvas bag - much better than the normal t-shirt. Will be back!

In short: Does exactly what it says on the tin..
In full: This is a fantastic race. A very difficult hilly half, but well worth the effort. Just accept that you will be a wee bit slower, grit your teeth and not only will you get round, but you'll enjoy it.
The organisation can not be praised enough. The marshalls are all incredibly cheery and encouraging, the route is beautiful and the spread laid on at the finish is without a doubt the best I have ever seen at a race. Those who didn't hang about for the prize giving may have missed out on some of the most special spot prizes I have ever seen !!
Please - try it(just don't go there expecting a PB!!)
