In short: Very Well Orgsanised and Well Marshalled for those seeking a low key event
In full: With my previous last half marathon being amoung thousands at Silverstone, this one was a much more low key affair, which meant running on my own for a lot of the time, giving a training run kind of feel. The warm weather and undulating course was not conducive to me for a PB but there was enough water stations to keep people going. The marshalls where very supportive and gave clear direction at all times so a big thank you to them. On the whole a fair event for those looking to escape the mass participation runs. Will I do this one again, to be honest, I'm not sure.

In short: Low-key, but well organised.
In full: I've yet to run the whole of last mile...and I've been doing this one for 10ish years now. It's usually warm, but there's enough water on the way around. A couple of hills...and one big downhill at 6 miles. Very friendly, well organised, with a good quality T-shirt, and a hand-shake from the Mayor at the finish.

In short: Enjoyable race, low key, but friendly
In full: If you're after big crowds and razzmatazz, this isn't for you. Not a big event, but well organised, well marshalled, and a great mental challenge on those lonely stretches. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you to organisers and marshalls.

In short: Only gripe is the low branches on some footpaths. Too much ducking and swerving.
