In short: Well organized
In full: Had a few worries about this race beforehand. There was no need. Lots of information e mailed in the weeks before the event and everything went like clockwork on the day, well done everyone and a big thank you to the marshals. One of the better half marathons that I've done.

In short: Very well organised and pb target flat
In full: Will there ever be a better organised inaugural race? Despite concerns over several potential pinch-points they never became an issue. Surprisingly well supported all of the way along the route and tremendous marshalling.
Well done St David's :-)

In short: Superbly organised, using Spytty stadium as a start/finish was inspired thinking. For an inagural race this was 1st class. l

In short: Cracking race, great organisation and marshalls!
In full: Well done to all involved, this was a fantastically organised race! The race went past my house, so knowing the potential for disaster at the one or two pinch points makes it even more impressive.
Support was great and the soup and bacon butty at the end were very welcome additions indeed!

In full: For a first time event warm congratulations are due to the organisers and many volunteers for an excellent and outstandingly friendly event. Hopefully it will grow and grow in the years to come, although a wider route will be needed by then,rather than the picturesque out and back. Thank you all.
