In short: Im from Yorkshire- the Pennines make Angelesey look more like Norfolk!
In full: A great placee to do a first half. As Im 18 the race wasnt too difficult, but I can imagine it may bee percieved so.

In short: Toughest road half I have done.
In full: Anglesey is a great location. I get the impression this is the first half marathon and an addition to the established full marathon. It might be worth considering redesigning the half rather than making it the second (tougher)half of the full. Pity the poor marathoners!

In short: Made my debut at the distance. Fairly challenging for the first one quite hilly especially in the last 4 miles. Well organised with friendly staff and local people. Very satisfied with completing and will do it again next year.
