In short: Great scenery, good trails and a fantastic summer's evening
In full: With the forest scenary, good trails, ample parking, the facilities of the Visitor Centre and good weather what is there to complain about?

OK, they could publish the results a little quicker.

In short: Friendly and well organised
In full: The start is quite narrow but runners seemed to have positioned themselves sensibly and so there wasn't the need to have to pass other runners.

The course has an easy downhill start that you pay for when having to come up it at the finish - although this year it didn't feel quite as bad.

Good organisation, ample convenient parking, supportive marshalls and very quick publishing of the results - well done.

In short: Scenic, traffic-free and very well organised
In full: Had not entered before because of the hills but now feel good that I managed to run up all of them and get a respectable time.

All aspects of the organisation were excellent which meant that all we had to worry about was the running.

I will be back next year.

In short: Flat course, excellent encouragement from marshalls and good weather on the day.
In full: Good scenery along the seafront and by the harbour but not so good through the residential parts of Gosport.

Excellent encouragement from the many marshalls around the course. Organisation was good apart from the baggage - I wished I had simply left everything in the car.

Very lucky with the weather - warm enough, sunny, dry and only a gentle breeze. In fact perfect weather for a half marathon or golf!
