In short: A great race!
In full: A beautiful warm & sunny day and a great route. I knew about the 2 mile hill but didn't quite believe it until I ran it! It's tough but worth the effort!
I would prefer a medal over a thermal neck warmer though.

In short: Brilliant must-do race
In full: My second time at this event. Weather was warm and sunny this year. Hilly route but doesn't pretend to be anything else. Very friendly and welcoming event. Well organised. Thanks to Perth Road Runners for a great day out.

In short: hot and hilly
In full: what a great event really well organised. i was told about the course and what it was like so times didnt matter between 8 and 10 certainly was tough and i'm afraid i walked a fair bit of those 2 miles but just before the hallelujah sign (brilliant) i started to run again well supported around the course and great at the finish and have to mention the food spoilt for choice

In short: Tough climbs and great views. A real change from the norm
In full: If you want something that is not just the running the streets of another town that look a lot like the last urban half marathon you did, this is for you. The location is within a hour's drive of Glasgow and Edinburgh so is well in reach of the Central Belt's runners. The weather was glorious and a gentle breeze cooled us as we toiled up the tough hills to appreciate the fantastic views that combine to make this Hellish and Heavenly. The horns and halos of the Perth RR marshalls were a nice touch to the excellent organisation of this event

In short: one of the toughest half mrathons in the UK
In full: really enjoyed todays race. very tough and no shelter from the sun. views and hills remind me of peak district races. deserves wider recognition.
