In short: Great Half Marathon
In full: It was the third year i ve done this half marathon and i ve enjoyed every one.The course was slightly different this year taking the muddy and very slippery 2 or 3 miles out from last year.The new bit was a little muddy but nowhere near as bad.The Marshalls were fantastic again and the t-shirt and goody bag for the money we paid was excellent.

In full: definately a better route than last year, a bit slippy and muddy in places but it did rain the whole day before,on the day the weather was a bit cool but just right for running really,very cold for spectators, i was very cross at the end when i got my free hot drink but when i tried to buy one for my poor freezing husband they would not sell a cup of tea, think that needs sorting for next year i know there was a burger van outside but we wanted to hear the presentation which was inside. also the old favourite lack of toilet facilities for the ladies, i would have liked to see some portaloos nearer the parking,after a long drive the last thing you need is to find the nearest loos are a good walk away, apart from those two issues a great race i knocked 19 mins off last years time and set a new pb, so i was well chuffed, see you next year

In short: Well organised event - well done Sleaford Striders!!
In full: First time at this venue and found it all very well organised. A good course with a few good climbs en route. Thankfully the course has been changed from the previous (from what I was told) as I found mile 3-4 very boggy under foot. Other than that there was lots of support from the marshallers and the guys on the water stations. Here's looking forward to 2012!!

In short: Decent course, no real hills but a very muddy farm track section
In full: Excellent organisation at start and finish. Excellent marshalling. The 10.5 mile water station could have done with being at 9 miles The over enthusiastic marshal who walked out in front of me trying to force a cup of water into my hand should realise that when a runner runs in the middle of the road as far away from the water tables as possible, and makes no attempt to take a cup then that may be because they don't want a drink. Other than that a great event.

In short: Very good organisation. The course is much improved compared to last year. The marshalls were very supportive. Overall a great day out. I'll be back next year.

In short: An enjoyable event...
In full: An enjoyable event but was surprised at how much "of road" there was...certainly affected my time. Very friendly & well organised with a an excellent goody bag. Well done Sleaford Striders!

In short: Not a bad early year half
In full: Bit of a mud bath at mile 2, not sure on the off road bit. Detracts from the time. Scenery is okay, typical fields. Organisation was good, marshalls very supportive and provided jelly beans/jelly babies which was good. Water at good places. Goody bag fairly good. Always love a medal though, but for the price, you can see why you don't get one.

In short: Well organised, challenging run
In full: Marshalls very enthusiastic, very well organised and some nice scenic views on the course - the chip timing was an added bonus - the off-road section was unfortunately as treacherous and muddy as last year and it'd be nice to have a technical t-shirt.
