In short: Very quick field very good hm
In full: This is a fast course, very scenic, very little traffic. Well organised and smooth race. Would happily pay a little extra for chip timing. It's a fast field with some serious runners involved, but still friendly enough for the less competitive among us. Definitely worth a go to start the season off and the fact that this sells out every year weeks before the close date should say it all. Well done.

In full: Low key half marathon, great value for money and very well organised. The route was rural and very scenic, well signed and marshalled. Very friendly atmosphere - would definitely run again :)

In short: This small half just gets better each year!
In full: A completely unexpected PB aside (albeit by 13 seconds), this event continues to shows the others how it should be done.
Good race hq, friendly organisers, great value entry, which covers a t-shirt and post run sandwich.
Looking forward to a 4th year at Droitwich in 2014!

In short: Interesting and not too challenging half
In full: Excellent race, nice course with some undulations (especialy in 2nd half) but no bad hills. Good goody bag and sandwich is a nice touch. Slight problem with shuttle buses getting through at end. Seems some people ignored the instruction to park in town centre which led to congestion.

In short: Decent event but could be improved
In full: Bottled water would have been nice rather than only cups at the water stations. I would happily pay a little extra if the event were chip timed, considering it is a championship race I was surprised it wasn't. The start was poor as I heard no instructions, people just started running.

In short: Excellent organisation. Few spectators on undulatiing route exposed to elements in places.
In full: All the previous comments re. good organisation, clubhouse, hot showers apply. V few spectators, but wretched weather for standing around. Marshals very encouraging. Only gripe - ended up with (very) XL T-shirt as rest gone. If your memento is size-dependent you can't disappoint in this way.

In short: Very well organised race on a good course
In full: Started with excellant directions in the race info. Ample car parking near to start and finish. Good course - mildly undulating and scenic through country lanes. Very well marshalled. Great to finish right next to the clubhouse and the hot showers were very welcome on a wet, cold day especially as i had a 2hr drive home. 'Free' sarny was a nice touch. Great atmosphere in the clubhouse after the finish. With a small field of under 400 runners this had the feel of a club runners event but very welcoming for beginners as well.

In full: An excellently organised race. Tough as there are few spectators out on the course but the route is interesting and support at finish is great.
