In short: surprisingly good weather and only one v serious hill!
In full: Apart from a mean hill about 6.5km fairly fast course and v pretty.Liked the unseasonal BBQ at the end as well as cold drinks.Only complaint was the clock but really impressed how quickly the results were available considering it was not chipped.Thanks to marshalls for standing out in the cold.

In short: v cold and hilly but still enjoyable.Massive thanks to all the marshalls!
In full: After being v negative about the cold, hills, lack of training I actually enjoyed this race and saw some rural parts of watford that I didn't know existed! I liked the finish in the park. Sorry to say like a few others the baggage collection was a bit of a bun fight but apart from that no complaints.thanks again to the marshalls.

In short: sunny, nice course, well organised
In full: I really enjoyed this and was dreading "the hill" but didn't think it was too bad- agree berko half has much meaner and steeper ones. Well organised altho I didn't hear the start gun...don't think it was just me!
I also thought it was good that there was more for spectators than usual and convenient for them to watch the first 2km and last km.
Was glad to raise money for a small charity which has benefitted my close family.

In short: quite hilly, well marshalled race .
In full: Well done to all the marshalls wearing plastic bin bags on a hot day-phew!!overall nice fairly scenic and almost traffic free course. No real killer hills but lots of minor ones.Impressed at the amount of water stations but thought the lollies ran out quite quickly.

In short: amazing experience made possible by enthusiastic crowds and loads of voluneers-thank you!!!
In full: scenery: admittedly not too spectacular at the start but the crowds and whole atmosphere more than make up for that.
Pb potential:found the first 2 miles a bit slow but could run at my own pace quicker than I expected.no hills or really tight corners.
Atmosphere:unbeleivable-has to be experienced to really understand.
organisation:great esp baggage trucks-Heathrow T5 you could learn a thing or 2 from these guys.
overall an amazing experience that I would definitely do again

In short: nice scenery with a couple of hill challenges.
In full: good weather and great support made it a really nice race. Only found 2 really challenging hills (2-3 miles and around 7 miles but at least that one was short). Only minor complaint was the water stations didn't seem very efficient.Was pleasantly surprised by the course after doing some of it last week at Gade Valley.

In short: flat and quite fast but not v interesting
In full: Agree with Shiva that laps made it a bit dull.Even without closing roads I reckon they could have made 3-4k laps.Also 1 toilet for 300 was a bit stingy!
