In full: quite a few flat/fast sections to stretch out but the hill in the first mile instantly knocks pb chances!generous goody bag/t-shirt for a low entry

In short: Nice way to spend a Saturday evening
In full: Many thanks to all those who participated and organised this event. Despite the weather (the rain was welcome to be honest)I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Other than the big hill at the start and the long uphill drag around 7 miles, the rest of the race was quite flat all things considered. Well done and see you next year

In short: great race
In full: first hill is very tough and was gasping a bit
at the top but you can run up it, honest !
entered on the day and I thought the whole
set up and organisation was excellent.
bottled water en route and a very nice long
sleeved top as a momento.
will defo be back again and hopefully the
weather will be kinder next year.
thanks to ALL involved, including all the
marshalls and the drinks stops helpers.
great work, a great race to run in. cheers

In short: Just an excellent race
In full: I do this race each year. On reaching the top of the first hill, I vow never again but then begin to think that racing is not all about personal bests. You need to put your watches away and just enjoy this one. There are not many places in the country where you would get such views at such a bargain price!

In short: Challenging half but well worth doing
In full: Well organised with friendly marshalls. The course has two major uphills and two major downhills (the two miles out of Great Barrington were tough!). The long sleeved sweathsirt momento was an excellent touch! At mile 8 I was thinking "never again" but I actually set a fastest time for the year, so I'll be back!

In short: One of my favourite races
In full: Last year was the only time I didnt run this event, due to injury. It was great to be back, at this event which is always well organised, with a lovely atmosphere and the fab scenery. A wonderful half and dont be intimidated by the 'hilly' description..its not that bad!

In short: Wonderful half in beautiful Cotswolds!
In full: As usual an excellently organised run and at a very reasonable price. Love the atmosphere, hate the hills (but still keep coming back!)and is a favourite half. Parking at the finish was only a £1 after 1700 and a nice T-Shirt is appreciated. Only downside was my poor time, who needs the big city runs, these win hands down, back next year, well done Bourton RR
