In short: carlsberg dont do races but if they did this would be it ..
In full: a tough race with a feel good factor, dr rob and his team yet again put on a fantastic race ! if i could only do one race this year this would be it, a great course although a bit hilly !! top marshalls very friendly and encouraging. i have never come away from a race with so much... i felt great the atmosphere was fantastic and to top it all the t-shirt, medal, paperweight were superb, and the cooked breakfast was a lovely touch and it was nice to chat with fellow runners. having done many of robs races (several times) how can one man find so many hills ??? will be back in june for the munro.thanks again to rob and his team.

In short: never ever again !
In full: ok the weather was bad but it was no excuse for the poor organisation of this race. the roads where not big enough to take the 6000+ runners. the marshalls seemed to have no interest , the baggage area was a joke, i could go on and on but it has all been covered by previous reports. this was my 4th brighton half and the worst half ive ever run. i just hope to god the organisers have nothing to do with the marathon in april....

In short: fast downhill finsh
In full: a very well organised race, a great mix of runners and good support at the start/finsh from the people of chichester . loved the last 2k downhill really had the feeling of a strong fast finish. if there was one small let down for a race of this size is the race momento of a cheap mug !

In short: a very well organised race
In full: once again the organisers and marshalls held a good race despite recent weather conditions . a 2 lap course with some tough hill climbs made even harder as i only had one days recovery from the knacker cracker ! however it was another great race to start the new year with .

In short: would not miss this race for anything !!!
In full: you can not start the new year in a better way ! love this race ( my 4th time ) but my first in fancy dress as so many inspired me last year , having run in a rocky gown and boxing gloves im not sure what hurts the most today my arms or legs ... hehe
congrats to rob & his team and all the marshalls for another well organised and fun race ... will be back again next year .

In short: a must not miss boxing day race .
In full: back again for my 4th year , a well organised race and what a better way to spend boxing day morning ! great course if not a little bit tough on the way back ( mainly due to over eating the day before and not the inclines ) . without a doubt i will be back again next year .

In short: a great x counrty run in the snow
In full: despite the conditions and having expected the race to be cancelled the rpac team put on a fantastic race !!! a revised route due to the conditions but still challenging and enjoyable . a field of mainly club runners but the pace they set really pushed me and was so pleased with my time . many thanks to all the marshalls and well done rpac .

In short: quite a nice course but poorly organised .
In full: a post code on the instructions would have been helpfull , when i arrived no baggage lorry was in place and had to leave bag on the floor in the rain ! however the course was nice,a long steady hill/incline but traffic did make overtaking tricky . the last few miles were fast and flat . the course was well marshalled . my biggest moan would be the race momento ... it was the 50th hogsback and what did we get ... a cheap mug !

In short: mud , mud and more mud !
In full: a great if not tough race , very well organised and my thanks to the many marshals . heavy rain prior to the start made the course even tougher but the clear sky and sunshine that was trying to breakthrough made it an enjoyable run .
