In full: Enjoyed the day, bit of a queue for toilets at the beginning but just made it to the start on time! Other than that, everything was great!
Support round the course was good and perfect for a first timer! I look forward to getting a PB next year! :)

In full: Great course for a p.b... took over 4 minutes off mine! Very well organised by P.W.A.C. As i pulled up injured in last years event, it was the first time i got to see the whole course and whilst not as scenic as Tunbridge Wells Half, it's a lot flatter!!!

In short: Great Race, very well organised
In full: Last ran this race 18 years ago, when there were much fewer runners. Still very well organised, very well supported in the local villages. Only disappointment for me was to not have an official time due to a failure in the reading of timing chips.

In full: It was my first time running this half marathon, and I really liked the course which was mostly flat apart from a couple of bridges. The support from the marshalls and the public on the way round was excellent! I travelled to the race on the train, which worked perfectly. Train station only a few minutes walk from the start. Really liked the sponge stations as it was quite warm on the day, and the marshall lady with the jelly babies!

In short: Fast and Flat
In full: I enjoyed this race a lot. However what i dont enjoy is getting a pb and having no record of it since the results are not correct. If they get this right i would definitely recommend this. More hills than i expected though but your rewarded with downhills after.
