In short: Great race, support, goody bag, marshals,organisation. Definitely recommend:)
In full: The only very small criticism is that a few more loos would have been grand, but otherwise pretty much faultless.

In full: a new half marathon. Lovely course. Good atmosphere and great support from the marshals and spectators. A few challenging climbs but nothing too difficult.

In short: Best marshals!
In full: Great race. Well organised and very cheap. Even better that they give half of the money to the Wiltshire Air Ambulance! Bargain at £18. Medal and goody bag at the end. The marshals were great. good course, a few long steady inclines but nothing too strenuous!

In short: Great marshalling
In full: Enjoyed the whole atmosphere of this race the marshals were happy and encouraging the organisation was 1st class. The event was challenging enough with long steady hills that made you pant and steady scenic views that made it a great run. On a down side the parking was a bit awkward but that’s scrapping the bottom of the barrel to find a fault. Really enjoyed myself
The good bag and medal was first class for a small event
Great job everyone who organised this

In short: Great AVR
In full: Thanks for a good route, mostly free of traffic. Enjoyed it with some nice downhills and a couple of slopes more than uphills!

In short: Well done AVR.
In full: It is certainty undulating, and all the better for that. Well organised with friendly smiley helpers and marshals.
Perhaps better changing facilities would be useful for a December run, when runners can be cold and wet and need at least to change even if showers aren't available. That is not criticism, but a mere suggestion.
