In short: Great mid distance run, flat as a pancake - if you want to make the step up from 10K to half marathon then this is the run for you. Starter needed a megaphone and no cups and very little water at the end. Overall a great confidence booster.

In short: Flat, twisty and horrible scenery
In full: A flat race, but run through a horrid housing estate with no scenery to speak of. Very little water and not too many marshalls either. Not one of the better runs around!

In short: Dull but flat and fast
In full: Dull scenery: a twisting course around New Town housing estates and the view is no better on the second lap. Flat so good chance of a PB but quite twisty. Mainly tarmac paths / cycle tracks with a short stretch on a firm earth path through a wood.
The website could have been more informative - I had to ask for directions to the start.
Nice T-shirt as memento - more tasteful than most

In full: Didn't like having to fight for a cup of water at the end.
