In short: A very good race, was quite well orgaised. the only down side i though was at the begining we all had to cram between the tennis courts and some hedges, too narrow for 600+ runners. Other than that very good nice scenery an

In short: A great little Half-Marathon
In full: This was my second time and I enjoyed it as much as the first. Well organised, well marshalled, good, moderately flat course through some nice villages.
Bonus 'feature' - watching the parachutists drop when you run past the airfield.

In short: Beautiful scenery, great PB potential
In full: Beautiful day, easy parking. Toilets eventually sorted out. Bit of confusion over the start. Bottleneck just after start which could have been avoided. Great scenery and lovely quiet roads. Well manned water stops and clear mile and half mile markers. T shirt, way too big but all that was left. Enjoyed this race and although there were hiccups, they were minor and can be corrected for next year. Would definately do again.

In short: Fast course good pb potential
In full: A fantastic race through beautiful country side and a pb into the bargain. Even the lack of toilets, organised start, only cups (no sponges/bottle) at water stations couldnt spoil the day

In short: A great day out in the country.
In full: I really enjoyed the race. A PB on a lovely course. I never realised just how beautiful my home county is. No real gripes. The only problem was the bottle neck at the beginning. If the day had been rainy and the ground muddy it could have been a rather naughty. A nice mix of running abilties and i like the old school cups of water instead of bottles!!
As i mentioned it is a PB course but a couple of runners i know went off like they were running for the bus and paid heavily. Respect the distance!
A great day and such a picturesque location that i would recommend it to all and sundry.
Before i finish i would like to apologise to Ade the telly presenter for making him wait for the disabled toilet beforehand. I hope you had a great race and good luck at London. Respect due to the Black Flag tee shirt. Top band!!!

In short: Nice scenery and more or less flat run. Organisation needs improving
In full: Shame about the lack of toilets, the non-existant starting line and T-shirt (only in XXL). Medal would be nice. Did this last year too and enjoyed it. Will do it again.
