In short: Hills Hills and more hills
In full: The signs to get there were non existant ar tiny. the course was all up hill with the down hill bits very short and steep. All up hill stretches were long slogs. I don't mind a mix of hills but this one was tough.good atmosphere at the end. I asked for help at 9 miles but he didn't know where to get medical help.

In short: well organised
In full: what can i say brilliant organisation great goody bag (two bananas 1 bag of crisp and a drink ) just what you want after 13 miles compared to sheffields alpan bar and a card advertising a taxi firm ( ive just run 13 miles i dont want a taxi i need an ambulance ) so thanks for a well run event . I was told the course was hilly but was not expecting anything like it was set off for a pb by mile eight my legs were shot by mile ten could hardly run by the end was just hanging on but thanks too the two ladies who gave me a great masarge was back on my feet and the day after went for a training run , will be back next year Shefield organises take note all this for ten pounds

In short: A new challenging course. Marshalls and spectators were as supportive as always. The route wasn't as scenic as before but hillier. I kept thinking of the Potter's Arf. Berry Park was a good finishing location. I'll be back next year.

In short: Hard Half marathon for a beginner!
In full: My first half marathon. i found hard going on the hills & I'm from a hilly part of Derbyshire. I feel sorry for people from flat areas.
Organisation excellent and marshalls very supportive. I'm pleased I had arranged alternative parking nearby as event parking entrance looked a bit chaotic.
