In short: Something a bit different In full: First time I've done this and the point to point element made it a pleasant change from most half marathons. Agree with other reviewers that it's probably not PB potential but it all depends on what you want. It's mainly flat but given you have to look down for your footing for most of it, if you want a quick race then this probably isn't for you. If you want a nice, friendly, scenic run on different terrain to gauge fitness in a racing environment, or it's your first half, then I think this is absolutely ideal. I really enjoyed it - my experience was that the coaches ran like clockwork, race number pick up was quick, and whilst the toilets had a big queue, it went down pretty quickly.
