In short: excellent organisation, good course
In full: Really well organised race. Surprised by some comments about the split for full and half - my experience was that this was well marshalled. Nice course, with good support, and I managed a PB!

In short: This should be such a good race, but is seriously let down by poor organisation and value
In full: The second year I've done this race and I'm afraid the organisation is no better than last year. They really do need to look at the arrangements at the start, and the value for money is sreadful. On the other hand, the atmosphere is great.

In short: very well organised race. PB even with that hill at the end!
In full: Really well organised race and friendly atmosphere. The hill is a killer the second time round, but I still managed a PB by 2 minutes!

In short: very well organised, and enjoyed the stadium finish
In full: Really enjoyable race. I thought the organisation was excellent (only gripe was lack of secure baggage area). Some of the paths were a bit narrow, but overall I enjoyed the route.

In short: Very disappointed with the organisation, especially at the start
In full: The shuttle buses from the station were a farce. If the organisers want this number of entrants they need to get their act together. On the positive side the course has excellent PB potential, and the finish in the stadium was great.
