In full: this was my second half marathon; - as a newcomer, purely recreational, not remotely competitive runner I was a bit worried after reading last years reviews, but it was brilliant. The hills weren't too bad! Well signposted and marshalled - thanks for a great morning.

In full: Good organisation, marshalling & finish - pretty and interesting course. With the hills thought that there was no chance of a PB but only missed it by one minute. Definitely be back next year to beat it. Thanks to all the organisers & volunteers
