In short: Tough today!
In full: Very very well organised, encouraging marshalls challenging course, goody bag containing what you need at end of run - a mars bar, kitkat chunky and crisps! There are two big hills which normally add to the challenge but today the weather took over- very cold, snowing and very windy - the canal parts were slippery and very muddy!

In short: Well organised, challenging run
In full: Marshalls very enthusiastic, very well organised and some nice scenic views on the course - the chip timing was an added bonus - the off-road section was unfortunately as treacherous and muddy as last year and it'd be nice to have a technical t-shirt.

In short: well organized race, quick course, just warm1
In full: 5th time I've done this one and it never disappoints! Plenty of support on way round, generally well organized apart from start is always congested, it took over a minute to begin running - would chip timing be possibility next year?
Otherwise got a PB, fast course and plenty of water stations - overall a very good race!

In short: Excellent organisation, challenging course, good goodybag
In full: Fourth time doing this one and the organisation has really improved - thoroughly enjoyed today and a PB to boot.

Lots of useful stuff in goody bag and really like the T-Shirt - marshalls were encouraging - will definitely be back again next year.

In short: Moderately challenging race but well organised and excellent support from the marshalls
In full: Off-road mile and a half very tough and treacherous in places - few gentle gradiants but no really monster hills. Adequate water stations, generally good organisation but the marshalls cheering made the race, especially as there was no other support on the course. This is 5th year in a row I've done this and I'll be back next year.

In short: Flat run, good for PBs
In full: Boring first few miles through housing estate and running near A1 but last few miles a little more scenic. Too much of a bottleneck at start, but very well organized, encouraging marshalls, and plenty of water stations - I'll certainly be running again here.

In short: Well worth doing
In full: Good organisation with encouraging marshalls - nice stadium finish, decent t-shirt, nice route on the canal and in the country - hills add a challenge - it's my hometown half and I really enjoy it.

In short: Friendly, well-organized half-marathon
In full: Organization spot-on this year, good weather, not too much wind compared to previous years, off-road was best it's been(this was my 4th Sleaford Half). Marshalls were very encouraging - really enjoyed it

In short: Quick course, pity about the start
In full: Enjoyable run, apart from the start being congested and late, one or two impatient drivers and no medium t-shirts left by time I'd finished - Can't be all bad as I keep coming back each year for more. Marshalling was encouraging.

In short: Great scenery and route - well organized - fun to run
In full: Will be back again next year - very well organized - nice to finish in the stadium and marshalls very supportive. Two big hills but the downhills more than made up for it.
