In short: Generally a well organised race over a good course. Some concerns with marshalling and drinks stations. Start and finish well organised
In full: The race was generally a good one with good marsahlling on most of the course. The early part was a cincern for the slower runners, because there were a lot of people on roads that had many cars on them. Drinks stations were poorly manned and some parts inadequately marshalled. The goody bag was laughable and no drinks at the end was disappointing. Overall however a good race on a good course. Got a PB so cannot complain.

In short: Nice flat course for attacking PB!
In full: First time in this event, great flat course apart from last mile, knocked 8+ minutes off my PB! Marching band at start was a nice touch and well supported along route.

In short: I've never done a race with so much downhill
In full: The down hills just kept coming, I was expecting some serious climbing to get back to the start but all there was was a mildly challenging hill at about 12.5 miles.

In short: great atmosphere, organisation could be better
In full: Felt a little lost when first arrived at the college, looking for the left luggae area. There were no one to give directions. Luckily decided to bring own water for post-race use as there were none after crossing the line. Enjoyed my first ever half-marathon race though and would do it again.
