In short: Quick and (mostly) flat
In full: Great race...weather perfect...good organisation and finish.
A fast course, which felt to me like there was more downhill than up, apart from 11-12, which was a real killer!
Cattle grids too soft and potentially hazardous! More support next year please.
Will be back for more next year.

In short: Very good race, just a couple of teething problems
In full: I really enjoyed this, lovely place to run and largely well organised. The delay at the start wasn't great and they could really do with something you can hear to signal the start. I wasn't that far back and everyone around me realised we had started when we saw the front moving away. Coming back into a was a little frustrating - there were a lot of cars, cyclists and pedestrians for a while. I was going flat out to break 1:30 for the first time definitely found it all a bit disruptive. But these are niggles, I really enjoyed it and got the time!

In short: my local half marathon so had to give it a go
In full: Apart from the obvious problems regarding parking( every event at Tatton is the same) the race was well worth the money. I live in Knutsford so know the route like the back of my hand, the last mile up Ashley Road was still a slog though. Overall good value with a great medal and quality tee shirt, will enter again next year. Only my 2nd half marathon and ducked under 2 hours so well chuffed.

In full: Good race through the lovely Tatton Park and quiet roads will definately be back again.Not pancake flat but still potentially quick.Bit of a wait to get into car park but what do you expect with 2000 runners trying to get into the park.very spectator friendly with all the attractions in the park and catering vans.Would recommend it

In full: I really enjoyed this half marathon. It was a nice course, nice scenery. I think overall it was a pretty well organised race. I felt it was a beginner friendly half marathon and I would recommend this race. I will be doing it again next year.

In short: A great course, well-organised and enough undulation to make it challenging.
In full: Starting and finishing in scenic Tatton Park and with a varied undulating route, this was an enjoyable race. Quite cold waiting around for the start, but weather was perfect for running once underway. Marshals were great, parking easy and the technical shirt and medal were a nice bonus.

In short: First Time Half Marathoner and loved it (except the pain ;-) )
In full: First time i've completed a race never mind a half marathon. With little and interrupted training i managed to complete it thanks to all the support from the stewards / other runners and everyone on route cheering us on. Was a nice course (except the slog of a hill mile 11 through 12), and the medal and goodie bags at the end were great.
