In short: a course that makes you work
In full: this is not the easyest course but not overpowering, a well marshalled and organised race, if a bit crowded at the begininning, i would not recomend it for a pb but I did beat mine by 2min

In short: Excellent, encouraging stewards and an interesting hilly course. Will do again next year.
In full: The stewards were all excellent and offered really good encouragement. I enjoyed the hilly course. One let down was the poor start - where exactly was the start line?! And it would have been nice to have had a medal rather than a t-shirt. But I really enjoyed it and will definitely do it again next year.

In short: Great first-time half marathon
In full: Enjoyed this very much. Slightly let down by the chaos at the start - well-documented - and the fact that no-one was able to tell me where to pick up the t-shirt.

In short:
In full: A little bit dodgy around mile 9 onwards, too exposed to cars coming from behind. A good race with a good personal time. Everyone was friendly, besides a few fellow runners, who as usual, forgot this running lark is supposed to be fun! So stop taking yourself too serious and bloody smile!

In short: Last Half of the year; a definite must
In full: It's a pleasent rural trot with excellent marshalling and a fast finish making it all the more tempting for an end of season pb, and thus the best excuse for Christmas satisfaction. And beers.

Post run facilities good
Thanks for organising - a good day out
