In short: One of the best, an example to some of the bigger races....
In full: Great scenery, fantastic marshalls, definate PB potential (I knocked 18 mins off my last half marathon), well organised at the end, love the old ladies at the clubhouse serving free tea and biscuits! If I had a gripe I'd say that the first 300 yards were very crowded but thats being really picky, I'll definately be doing this again next year.

In short: Great way to start the year
In full: The course which is undulating in parts offers an interesting route along quite country roads. The atmosphere along the route is supportive and the pre race organisation is well organised. Signposts and marshals are excellent.
