In short: Love this race
In full: I've done arace here twice, and love it. The 5k, 10k and half marathon all start together, so you have people speeding off - you have no idea who is running what race, so you need to keep at your pace andbe aware. It is an interesting course, but you do go round 4 times for the half Mara, the spectators are not all along the course so at times it is just you against the clock. However, although all this sounds negative - I love this race! The organisation is great, the marshals along the route are lovely (even in the pouring rain and cold!), the other runners are very friendly (and very speedy! I usually run this race quite fast, so pb's for me, as I am so scared of coming last!). The medal is great, good quality. And they ave cute things - like people selling home made cakes, or homer grown pears to take home. Also the course is dead flat. Love!

In short: Bit of a mess
In full: No starting pens so mixed up with all abilities. Unable to run at my pace due to dodging everyone who was walking. The baggage was a nightmare - they made a mistake and could not find my race numer baggage area. The sticker they give to put on your bag comes off so people lost their bags. The goody bag was just a bunch of flyers, a tea bag and a tiny amount of sugar and one sweet. The medal - pretty, but I picked mine up from the floor as they were just lying on the ground.
I could go on.............
