In short: good race fast course but £2 for emailed results is too costly
In full: A good race and half mile markers good idea but why £2 for emailed results. I understand charging for posting results due to costs of paper, copying and postage and time but to charge for emailing is not on.

In short: Friendly people, good PB course but £2 for results which I'm still waiting for!
In full: Very good, scenic course with definite PB potential - my wife beat her PB by 10 minutes! Lack of marshalling at finish and presentations a bit chaotic. Results scenario rankles not only for cost but for wait - will they ever arrive? Would do it again but I wonder how many of the organisers are actually runners?

In short: Bigger than I expected - about 600 runners I think
In full: There were plenty of good runners putting in times as good as 1:11 and plenty like myself doing closer to 2 hours. Everyone very friendly so I didn't feel out of place on my first half marathon. My first race for that matter.

In short: Flatish course that's good for first timers.
In full: This is the first time I've run this course. There were no directions or course map supplied and no clear start line. I didn't know the race had begun until everyone started running. A very flat course that with a bit more organisation will be a great run for beginners and PB's.

In short: Well organised, fast race, but where are the results?
In full: An excellent race, flat with just a few minor inclines, good parking arrangements and marshalling, little traffic on the course, not too many runners so very good PB potential. No sign of the results on the website yet, hopefully that will be rectified.

In short: Scenic,flattish,friendly race.Recommended.
In full: Scenic,flattish course with the occasional undulation to keep you on your toes.Half mile markeres a minor irritation. It would have been good if a marshall had remained at the finish to direct all of the runners round the last loop. Either that or put a max. time limit. Clock was also dismantled before the last runner was in.However,generally was a friendly,organised race with a lot to recommend it. Did a PB and will be back next year!
