In short: Cracking race - very well organised, sopping wet and muddy. Despite that its surprisingly quick and highly entertaining.

In short: Very good race
In full: Enjoyed this - interesting complex course, very well marshalled, phenomenal goodie bag (half kilo of lucozade powder), just a shame about the head cold! Good job Bournemouth Joggers.

In short: Excellent race
In full: Good job by the organisers - arranged for sun, a meal at the end, and mud so foul that one of the climbs required use of hands (its really a fell race - ~ 700 m? of climbing, most hills ~ 1 in 4. Very well marked course (although something went wrong in the last field resulting in an irate local). Its was the slowest half marathon I've ever done - 50 minutes off PB! I'd recommend the rest of the series.

In short: Shame about the marshalling
In full: No marshal on the left turn near the end - resulting in a good few runners ending up back at the sea and 3 minutes down on pace.
