In short: Excellent city race
In full: Well done Steve Brace! The Cardiff Half has finally become what it always had the potential to be - one of the best city races in the UK. I've run it five times in the last six years and this year was the best experience by a very wide margin.The new course was a massive improvement on the Ely link dual carriageway of last year. The loop around Roath Park was excellent and the crowd support loud and encouraging in many parts of the course.THanks to the marshalls too for doing a great job.

In short: Excelllent marathon preparation
In full: First time for this one. Highly recommended. What stood out was the friendliness and support from all the marshalls and organisers - well done San Domenico! Yes the hills were tough and the stony path too, but I really enjoyed it.

In short: Good spring half with challenge and PB potential
In full: This race is a bit tougher than you think it's going to be when you first hear it's on a flattish coastal path.There are no big hills but quite a few undulations and the ever present wind - this year miles 12 and 13 were hard because of it. It's a friendly event and well marshalled. Probably needs a bit of a revamp next year as promised.

In short: Very enjoyable but a challenge
In full: First time for Tregaron Half. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Tough course with one hill which seemed almost vertical at the time and lots of undulations. Railway track stretch was tougher than expected with uneven surface and lots of mud.Having said all that I really enjoyed it. Many thanks to the organisers and marshalls.

In short: Excellent 8 miler
In full: Very well organised by Lliswerry Runners as last year. Fast course which is good for even pacing- managed to do all 8 miles within 4 secs of each other. Excellent tech t shirt. A very good race!

In short: Tough but enjoyable
In full: Thankd to the friendly marshalls and to Rhayader Athletic club for a really well organised race. Interesting splits though - mile 1 down hill was 6mins dead but mile 3 uphill was 8mins 50, The rest was not quite so extreme, but it is a tough one.

In short: Enjoyable race on a new course whch was more practical, but less scenic
In full: Last year there were a lot of complaints about the congestion through Bute Park and Sophia Gardens. The organisers have clearly listened to this and redesigned the course. The result was less scenic and more importantly there were several inclines, but you cannot have it both ways - for this amount of runners you need the wide roads and the dual carriageway stretches. It was super fast last year [ignoring the act it was short!] and quick this year so PBs were still possible. Thanks to the organisers for putting on an excellent race, whcih is still one of my favourites and thanks to the people of Cardiff for their great support.

In full: Everything we've come to expect from Llanelli races run by Human Being Active. The race was well organised, the scenery very good and the atmosphere friendly. Well done - I'd recommend this one to all.

In full: This was a tough event! The hills were frequent and steep. The volunteers from the local running club and the marshalls were very friendly and supportive.The event has a good atmosphere and the scenery is superb. I'd recommend this highly, but get the hill work in before!

In short: Excellent race
In full: Much better course than last year as it finished in the town centre. Lots of hills made it challenging as did the humidity. Very well organised and lots of support from locals and holiday makers alike. Thanks again to Trots. This is a very enjoyable race!
