In short: Fantastic Atmosphere - the BEST half marathon (shame about organisation tho) In full: Definately a brilliant race, already signed up for next year, cannot recommend it enough, the locals make you feel like a celebrity. The last mile through Green Park needs revising - this is the point when you most need crowd support but instead your running around an empty business park - and the car park nightmare (2 hours to leave car park) was far from ideal - however they have promised to improve it next year - overal - WELL WORTH IT!

In short: Great running in the stadium at the finish. Not very well organised after the finish though, too long waiting for goody bag and not enough exits. Date of review: August 31, 2004
