In short: A lovely route with a great downhill finish
In full: Good organistion pre-race, collecting race number was a smooth process. After the initial shock of the hill start the route became a lovely trek through lanes and the park..finished off by a mile of speedy downhill stuff.... A good event.

In short: Excellent organisation. Good support from spectators, marshalls and other runners. Quite an undulating course overall but a good downhill stretch to finish. The T shirt was excellent. I'll be back next year.

In short: One of the best ...
In full: Not the easiest of courses but I have one of the runs of the year. The organisation, atmosphere, and the run through Clumber Park inspire good times. The downhill last mile also helps!

In short: An excellent and well orgainsed event
In full: As my 1st Half Marathon, an excellent standard of organisation and atmosphere. A difficult course certainly at 11 miles - not another hill ! but overall good scenery, weather was good for running and all people friendly and supportive. Got PB for distance as well - Bonus
