In short: Overpriced and underorganised.
In full: You'd think they'd have read the weather forecasts and realised people might need more than that nasty Gatorade (water would have been nice and why cups?!).
Started over an hour late, stewards were poor, bag collection afterwards was a joke - they were giving bags out to absolutely anyone. Won't be doing this one again.

In full: Ran with sciatica but managed a decent time, largely thanks to a very warm and encouraging crowd and good atmosphere. Better than the British 10k by a long shot - could've done with more water though.

In full: Ok I should have trained harder but what a race. I've done easier marathons! Bloody good fun though, and very very muddy :-) Definitely want to do it again.

In full: The run that converted me to running 5 years ago still holds its own amongst the many half marathons I've clocked up since. Organisation was extremely good, with lots of en route loos, regular water and Powerade stations and mist showers. Definitely one I'd recommend. Fabulous.

In short: Great Fun! To be recommended.
In full: Although slightly warm in habits and veils, this run was extremely well organised and went very smoothly, with friendly, enthusiastic marshals dotted along the course.
The only thing that would have completed it would have been some mile markers as we had no idea how far we were at any point along the route!
