In short: Ran last year, ran this one and planning to run next year!
In full: Excellent race, I can't wait to do it again. It is very hilly! And the big climb at Budock is just evil!
I used this race as part of my training for Worcester marathon in April, so a PB wasn't in my mind, so I tried to go slow and enjoyed it!

2012 Worcester Half Marathon 2012
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Great event, great support!
In full: Great event, great atmosphere, amazing support from the crowd! Some mile markers missing which is very frustrating if you are after a PB or a certain pace, and I am not sure but I feel like the official half marathon distance of 13.1 miles was actually 13.2 miles which adds another minute.
Great event though!

In short: great event
In full: It was great for the first time, maybe next year will be even better. Managed to get a new PB even though the some hills were just plain evil.
As someone already said, those cones by mile 11 were nasty, just an evil mind would put them there. The climb at Budock was the worst for me. But in general I loved it and I cant wait to do it again! Falmouth has such nice atmosphere. The goodie bag was great.

In short: My second Malvern Half and I still love it!
In full: It is a great event, it is quite flat and fast, good for PB.
The wind was at some points too strong, and the last 3 miles were a struggle to fight off the wind of slowing me down.

In short: The hardest half I have run, and I loved it!
In full: This was the hardest steepest run I have done in my life, I still don't know how I managed to finish 11. But I loved it, very organised, nice support, lovely scenery, I will definitely do it again.

2010 EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 20% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: crap logistics and organisation
In full: I hated the start, many runners with the wrong color standing at the front, I spent the first 7 miles overtaking slow runners that had colors that were supposed to be behind me at the start. There was also a part where the road was too narrow for the thousands of runners and some of us had to join the opposite lane for the oncoming runners!
EDF is also a 'green' company, well, all the rubbish produced by this marathon is anything but 'green'
