In short: Well organised race and even managed it despite being a complete novice with no real training
In full: I think the fact that out of 128 reviews only 2 say they wouldn't return (both by the same person, found it so bad they had to comment on it twice!). Main criticism was that the first enery station had people taking Lucozade on the out and back leg when it was only intended for one direction which left no drinks for those of us who started later and there were no foil wrap things left when I finished.

In short: I found this race dull and boring the worst half marathon I've ever ran. However a friend found it a good run!
