In short: pace yourself for the hills
In full: excellent support and well organised.
It was wet and the only down point was the track and grass for the finish.
lots of support in the town and even in the rural there were people at 7 miles offering jelly babies

In short: Excellent race, terrible conditions this year but a PB brightened my day
In full: This race has everything going for it. It's professional organised but not too big and busy. I find the course to be fast, the roads are closed and the support along the route is great even on a really wet and miserable morning.

In short: Well supported and organised race that I return for year after year
In full: For a course with few hills this still manages to have interest due to the variety of town, village, woodland and fields. It's really well organised and the volunteers who marshal the course are excellent. This year's event suffered from the weather, but the crowds still turned out to cheer you on. Thank you Fleet!

In short: Really well-organised half marathon
In full: Great race, really well organised. Some very nice scenery and a good, relatively flat course with PB potential. Very friendly crowd and marshalls. The only shame was the weather, but you can't really apportion blame for that!

In short: Relatively flat, good surface, very well organised, fast race.
In full: My first half marathon. Good flat course going through the main town centre a couple of times and then through the surrounding countryside heading back into the park. Running surfaces are good and wide and starting area well organised so not much bumping into each other or having to have a slow start. Marshals were very polite and gave good encouragement as did the town itself. Very motivating. I ran the fastest time ever over this distance by a long way. No hesitation in doing this half marathon again.
