In short: Quite a challenging course
In full: I have run this race for many years and am always caught out by the hills. The scenery is superb and helps to make this a race not to be missed. I do miss the band that used to lead the runners down to the start, but I suppose that was getting to be too expensive. We don't want to price races out of the reach of the average runner.

In short: Good to look at and to run. I'll be back.
In full: A long way from the car park to the start meant that I and lots of others missed the start, but well-organised otherwise over a fantastic route. Water and sponge stations charming. My first Half, so a PB, and I didn't think the hills were too bad. New Milton is not a great place for spectators to wait though.

In short: Overall, a great race
In full: This is a great venue for a race. Course is undulating with equal ups and downs and neither too severe. Did a PB on this one!

In short: Had good memories of this from 2002 but not the same in 04. Car park, race HQ & start not very near each other and many started late. Nice enough race but not worth travelling too far for it.

In short: Fun and friendly
In full: Good organisation and well worth the trip. Nice to have your name and number called out at the finish for a final cheer. Excellent to a first timer like me.
