In short: Unseasonably weather on the day?? Very warm....
In full: Very "Lumpy"? Was a case of going up and downs the Hills from the Canterbury Rugby Club?? Great jogging down the inclines. Unfortunately, you had to go back up the Hill at 11miles....

In short: Hard, hilly & hot!!
In full: A challenging half marathon that wasn't made any easier by the heat.
A big thanks to the marshalls manning the water stations and the public who were very uplifting.
I'll definitely be doing this again next year.

In short: really enjoyable - and massively appreciated the locals who turned out to cheer runners on, as we passed through their (very beautiful) villages.

In short: Love this race - combination of hills and heat made this very challenging
In full: Very well organised. Plenty of water stations. Marshalls, and particularly the villagers, were especially vocal! Tough hills have been well documented, but very gratifying to make it over the line. Earlier start a great idea - eventually I'll run of these in more ambient conditions! I plan to be back next year!

In short: Excellent course and very well organised event
In full: Lovely course, although quite hilly. The earlier start this year was very helpful given the conditions. Excellent organisation and superb finish line commentary.
