In short: Well organised and stewarded. Disappointing not to get snack at finish and drinks were some distance from finish.

In short: An enjoyable Sunday morning run that was well worth getting out of bed for!
In full: Enjoyable in that it is quite a small and friendly half marathon. Execellent spectator support along the route - it was raining yet people still turned out. Would have been nice to have had a banana at the end. I'm sure Tesco or Sainsburys would be happy to donate. A good race for a first half marathon.

In short: A good run out and everyone seemed friendly. Nice to see water bottles this year instead of plastic cups.
In full: I would like to see Milage points presented more clearly as it was very difficult to judge your milage splits
