In short: Very well organised, fast, flat, fairly scenic half marathon.
In full: I chose this race because I wanted a club-run, well-organised, fast half marathon. The fact that it incorporated the Surrey County Champs seemed to be a good seal of approval, let alone the fact that it clearly sells out every year.
The race delivered on all fronts, being extremely well organised, with friendly, well-informed marshals, good facilities... and I was lucky enough to be running up front and in the hands of the lead bike marshal who did a thoroughly excellent job of warning oncoming traffic, shouting instructions to runners on directions, course hazards, etc.
And if I could request exactly what I want handed to me at the end of the race, I probably couldn't ask for more than water, banana and a chocoloate bar. Spot on! :-)
Thank you Ranelagh, an excellent race.
