In short: Only Bath can get away with steep prices and oversized T shirts
In full: For a half, it is very expensive, but there is something very special about the Bath Half - i've been running if for 9 years (yes lets not mention 2008). Lovely atmosphere, great crowds and the pre and post shopping and eating in the city is second to none. My BIG bugbear is the size of the T shirt - do they think runners are all super sized? I've been throwing my out every year and complaining every year. For the entry fee can't you sort out small sizes for normal runners?

In short: Well organised but the dullest 2 hours of my running life - why ban IPods when most of the race is run around a disused airfield where the only 'danger' is stepping on an uneaten jelly bean.

In short: Very well organised, marshalls excellent, great race
In full: Agree with the comment about the marshalls at mile 8/18, I thought they knew me by the way they were shouting, fantastic and a real lift.
Very well organised race, having done the previous route, I liked the 2 laps, it meant having more people around you for longer. Also a boost to have some faster 10 milers lapping you and boosting your own speed.
Lovely t shirt, just wonder if you could get some ladies sizes next year, a mans small is still a little large. Thank you, a PB today and delighted with the race.

In short: Very challenging but pretty race, the -6 windchill was a big challenge! Very well marshalled. Last mile a killer. Shame you ran out of t shirts, some of our slower club runners were disappointed.
