In short: Very nice atmosphere and well marshalled out on the course - a good day out!
In full: A very good club race with lots of helpful marshalls. They just went a bit missing in the car parks as it got closer to the race time. Nice atmosphere around the race and when returning to the finish line. Some long drags out on the course especially 9 to 11! Enjoyed the run and worked hard. Well deserved few beers last night. Will probably be back next year to try and put in a better time

In short: Fantastic organisation - really good half, this one!
In full: First time running this and really enjoyed it. It rolls gently all the way, but no major hills. Marshaling and police presence were excellent throughout.

In short: Good
In full: Enjoyed it, would describe as sporting rather than flat. Would have been risky due to roads except the marshaling was excellent, supported by local Police who also did a great job.
