In short: Good race although the addition of th Medal that was mentioned somewhere would have been good
In full: Was a well organised event, which I enjoyed, not enough loos though which was a pain. T shirt was good but goody bad was boring. Add a MEDAL

In short: For my first half marathon it was quite challenging due to the hills but I loved it! Goody bag was not worth it and a bit miffed they started the time with the gun instead of when I crossed the start line.

In short: Good race - Bad Timing
In full: Good scenic race, pleanty of hills in the first half and a quick second half. Well organised and marshalled but what happened with the timing ? Race numbers had timing chips on which did not seem to work, it seems they started from the gun, not when you crossed the start line ! My timing was over a minute out ! winge over, a good race and good fun.

In short: Fantastic route, very fast rolling course
In full: Well organised race, once out of Watford the scenery is lovely and the roads quiet and winding. The route takes you up in the first half and down for the second making for a fast last few miles. Great PB potential.
