In short: Lovely scenery, well organised and a nice morning out
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed this race with lovely scenery. Particularly enjoyed the canal paths and the great views of Belvoir Castle. It is a hidden gem that isn't spolit by the masses. Managed to shave a considerable amount of time from my PB despite the hills. Would recommend to seasoned runners and amateurs

In short: Great run in a beautiful Place
In full: really enjoyed this half marathon even though it was only my second. Even though there was 2 killing hills i still managed to take 2 mins off my PB. Will be back next year, but better prepared for the hills. Organisation was first class and the watering stations were well manned and in the right places. Showers and facilities were also first class.

In short: Good Race mostly flat or slightly undulating but with 2 Killer hills
In full: Quite a few PB's for the 15 striders that did this.
Good run, and the 497 motor bikes dpoing the egg run that made an impromptue detour due to an accident on the main road made about 2 miles in the middle alot more interesting ;)
18 minutes off my PB, if it wasnt for the 2 hills I would have got a Sub 2 hour :)
Well done Grantham Athelics :)
