In short: excellent organisation.
In full: very well organised, with friendly marshalls, and toilets a plenty. the coarse itself was enjoyable, a nice combo of town and country, oh and who put that hill there, it seamed never ending. still what goes up must come down. and the down hill that followed was a bit of relief.
this was my 31st of 40 half marathons this year, and have to say its right up there. well done henley.

In short: very scenic
In full: a nice coarse in a beautiful setting, with some great history. only downside is the fact that where taking money from supporters entering the grounds. other than than all ok, oh and yes the sun shone, which is great but doest make for great running conditions.

In short: very well supported,
In full: nice undulating coarse, with a couple of challenging accents. plenty of water stops, and well supported by the locals, and unfortunatly the toilet situations at these races tends to be somewhat similar. but all in all enjoyable.

In short: excellent atmosphere, challenging coarse.
In full: good challenging coarse, plenty of water stations, some very narrow pathways which slowed things down somewhat. and the queue for the goodie bag at the end was just to long so unfortunatly i missed out, but all in all very enjoyable.

In short: very enjoyable, fantastic atmosphere, and friendly
In full: nice venue and coarse, with a good atmosphere, with plenty going on at the start/finish, for supporters and competitors, shame you had to park so far away, but i guess this made for a good warm up and warm down,i didn't think the coarse was as hilly as people were saying, just undulating, and a couple of points i would like to note, firstly i had to chuckle at the amount of leaflets on my windscreen when i got back to the car, and did anyone notice the chalkboard at slough youth footie club, it read members only on the way to the race, with a couple of members blocking the entrance, and a big welcome on the way back, members free. haha
