In short: Too much running up and down pavements. Goody bag and marshals excellent.

In short: Car parking on a mud bog! The downhill is too severe and I think dangerous.

In short: This race has lots of potential but is seriously let down by organisation
In full: This race has serious potential to be excellent - the course is fast, the location wonderful and it's not too big. There are a lot of easy wins for the organisers - have a finish line, offer water at finish, more marshals on the course, organise the start better.

This race has real potential to be a pre-Xmas special. MKAC could make a real name and grow a very profitable race.

In short: Organisation fantastic, quick course and great T shirt.
In full: This is a great event. My first time. I've run 5 half marathons this year and this is definitely the best. A very special race.

In short: Excellent organisation. Marshalling good and truly traffic free
In full: A good race. Weather not excellent but well organised. The start needs sorting out - slower runners arriving late were joining at front.

In short: Grown too big?
In full: The water stations need to be earlier. The first seemed to be around 5 miles. On a hot day this was too late. I think the procong is getting steep and the numbers too many. The atmosphere is great but don't expect a PB

In short: Some problems to work on
In full: Two major problems. First, the start was delayed and then not delayed and we had to stand in sun for 15mins when called to satrt. Second, the water ran out. Not acceptable.

In short: Great finish at stadium.
In full: A nice race. Bit boring on the run into Sheffield and back. Water in cups is crazy.
