In short: Very enjoyable
In full: As this was only my second half marathon - found this a challenging run because of the hills but did enjoy it. Was well organised.

In short: 1st time fun runner here!
In full: Had a blast. Arrive ridiculously early so froze my arse off. Lovely atmosphere. Really enjoyed myself. Hills were tough, but downhills were fab. Great spectators too.
Had no preconceptions but I still thought it was fantastic! Will do the half next year.

In short: not to be done after a weeks holiday in lanzarote
In full: Great run, but after training hard for ages and then going on holiday and then running this wasnt my best idea. Watford was easier. great club house at end

In short: First H/M, but a great one to do! Challenging slopes and nice run-in.
In full: Some fairly challenging slopes at 3, 7 and 11 miles, but there's always a downhill afterwards! Glorious weather, lovely scenery and a surprisingly number of supporters dotted around the route made for a good, virgin H/M experience!
