In short: my first half marathon - what a way to do it
In full: This race has left a very good impression. I wasn't looking forward to running my first half marathon and doubted I had trained enough. But, it's a flat course, the atmosphere is relaxed, lots of support along the way, and running through some of the most beautiful and iconic parts of London was something special. Really liked the medal and t-shirt as well. If all half marathons were like this I'd do another!

In short: My favourite HM
In full: This is the third time I participated in this race and still is one of the best HM I have taken part in so far. Plus, they always seem to be lucky with the weather. Hope to do it again next year, it's just part of the

In full: This is my fourth Royal Parks and I did enjoy it. It does bottleneck slightly in places, but other than that I've no gripes. Good atmosphere, beautiful day, original medal.

In short: Good beginner's race
In full: Great scenery for the first 6 miles, but the parks get a bit repetitive after a while. Too many twists and turns in the second half and the paths are somewhat narrow. But very flat, very well organised and a good atmosphere.

In short: Brings out the best of London
In full: A truly great race - well organised, the marshals did a fantastic job and kept the motivation going, great cheers from the crowds as you entered the park which made the event. Too long a queue for the loos at the beginning and slightly congested at times.
Roll on next year!
