In short: Well organised race. Excellent family atmosphere
In full: We enjoyed this event as a family with the youngest two doing the mini-race. My 12 year old ran the 3k with me. Yes, I was probably the only one daft enough to do both races...

I would suggest that on a warm day like today, one or two extra water stations would help some of the runners who didn't have their own supplies.

The steep start for the first 1K probably knocks off 30secs off ones time overall but does make for a thrilling sprint downhill to finish off.

In short: Excellent scenic route, a little damp
In full: This was my first half-marathon on a lovely route. Despite the rain and a sad lack of a waterproof top, I posted a slightly better than expected time. The two real hills were quite something but at least it meant there was much more downhill after then 7 mile mark. I picked this over the Reading half-mara as it was a smaller field with more serious club runners. I was not disappointed.

In short: Well done to the organisers. Properly marshalled. Took a nice route through the park and it didn't really feel as if we were running around in circles.

In short: An excellent well organised race - highly recommended
In full: The O2O organisers really do a good job here. Probably not the course to achieve a PB but the multi-terrain makes it a very pleasant and interesting run instead.

In short: Well organised but too late in the day for mid-July hence too hot.
