In short: Super organisation, beautiful race, fab marshalls and even a handshake at the end.
In full: The race has a limited number of entrants but through runner's world I was able to buy the place of someone who could no longer run. The race organisers were super in helping to make this change go smoothly and the race ended up being one of my favourites of the year.

In short: fab rac and goody bag
In full: What a great way to spend your Sunday. Challenging course and very nice marshalling. Liked the singing of the Nation Anthem and the quick start straight after. A few challenging up and downs but certainly enjoyable. Will be back next year!

In full: This was my first half marathon and a big challenge. Hills were exhausting and seeing the finishing line and drowning the pint of badger ale such a relief. Living locally it was lovely to enjoy the Surrey hills scenery. Perfect organization, great marshals cheering you on and perfect weather made this an enjoyable morning. Being foreign I loved the idea of singing the national anthem at the start! Will do it again next year and run up all them hills!
Also just looked at the pics and some of the best I have seen on such events.
