In short: Friendly event with real community feel to it. Great scenery.
In full: Despite overdosing on Belgian Lager the previous night - one of the dangers of a 1pm start I suppose - really enjoyed it. Being from London I found it really friendly, also was easy to get to, the chance to warm up at a venue where cricketing history was made was a bonus, decent support on the way round, great scenery and overall good organisation.And excellent weather. Recommend it to everyone.

In short: Love this race - And the sun Gods proved that they do too!!
In full: Fantastic race. Very well organised. Big open roads. Starts on time every year, and plenty of room to run in comfort. Route is so scenic taking in the Mumbles and Swansea foreshore and you get to see the fast guys on the way back as you approach Mumbles.
However - why have an inappropriate 'aerobic warm up girl'when clearly no-one is ever interested at this event. Even the instructor seemed embarrassed!
Still,loved it even if it was my slowest run for 2 years!

In short: Excellent race and scenery.
In full: Enjoyed the race and the course.Achieved a PB but crossing the finish line wanting to collapse and then being made to cue to get my goody bag was terrible.

In short: Second time I've done it, and certainly will be a third
In full: One of the best races around, very well organised (shame Cardiff half can't take their example) great scenery and value for money.
