In short: Great race - thanks Dr Rob - fantastic! Great route, scenery, weather and cucumber sandwiches at the end.
In full: Many thanks to all the organisers, marshalls and runners - a cracking late afternoon outing! Not done a 'half' before and definitely got the taste for it. All that and jelly babies too - how cool is that? (Not the yellow ones though - bit of a shock).

In short: Absolutely amazing! One of the friendliest runs i have ever done both from the runners the spectators and the organisers, oh and the halfway piper. Lovely scenery but ROCK HARD RUN, they says its britain's hardest half, probably right.

In short: Marvellously tuff with a fantastic atmosphere and the best cake!
In full: The steps are still giving me nightmares and I spent two days walking up stairs sideways! This is one of my favourite races of all time, although it feels wrong that something this painful should feel so good ;) Hats off to those who ran the pinic

In short: the best race of the year
In full: after last year's race, i started hill training but it was never enough. the pain and sheer inability to get up those steps at more than a crawl....
superb organisation and very friendly atmosphere makes this the best race.
i will be back !

In short: Tough, tough, tough but well worth it.
In full: Great tough, as you can probably gather, course. Organisation was superb, marshalls with their never ending smiles and encouragement were brilliant and the picnic at the end was very tasty. Well done to everyone involved.
