In short: Marshalls supportive, shame about the drivers, being slow and at the back, the drivers on the open roads where not helpful and did not allow for slow runners. Did not complete due to illness but may run again.

In short: Flat course, excellent encouragement from marshalls and good weather on the day.
In full: Good scenery along the seafront and by the harbour but not so good through the residential parts of Gosport.
Excellent encouragement from the many marshalls around the course. Organisation was good apart from the baggage - I wished I had simply left everything in the car.
Very lucky with the weather - warm enough, sunny, dry and only a gentle breeze. In fact perfect weather for a half marathon or golf!

In short: Great organisation and wonderful marshalls once again. Most enjoyable
In full: Gosport road runners do a great job putting on this race with everone involved doing their very best and they should all be thanked. The weather was even well organised!!! This was my 5th Gosport half and I will be back next year to challenge my PB (just missed out this year but I am getting older). Thanks

In short: Great first half marathon
In full: Good flat course and some nice scenery by the Solent but also some suburban boring bits. 2 laps of same course is also not my ideal race.
Marshalls were very supportive.
Baggage drop was not great but this was my first time in a 1/2 so nothing to compare it too.

In short: Nice route, friendly marshalls but please sort out the baggage
In full: Enjoyed the race in the gorgeous weather. Loads and loads of friendly marshalls. But queuing for 20 mins to check in bags and then another 20 at the end while cold and sweaty isn't nice. Hope that can be sorted.
