In short: Shame about hill at finish
In full: New route, enjoyed last 5k most, when off road. Expected a few hills but not the hill to finish - when most of us want to blast last 400m and end up with another hill. Any chance of flat finish next year?

In short: Brilliant with possibly the best marshalls ever
In full: Fantastic run- weather challenging but course good mix of urban and country and hills well spaced out. Top marks must go to the marshalls and police who did fantastic job and were very encouraging and to the supporters who cheered us on in bracing conditions. Pudding looks superb and will take pride of place at Christmas dinner table

In short: better than last year
In full: Much cooler weather made this far more enjoyable than last year- brilliant marshalls, firstaiders and support along route - esp lovely lady at 7k with oranges much appreciated. Was prepared for route this year so not fazed by hills. Only gripe was finish - being in with the mass finishers took 20 minutes to get medal and t-shirt!!

In full: Love this race - great marshalling, additional water feature this year!! Hotter than expected so not a PB for me this year -only downside was dreadful finish - no idea what "official" time will be as it took ages to cross finish line, much worse than last year

In short: Not what I expected
In full: Having only done local 10ks before I thought being sponsored by Big coprporate firm that this would have been better organised and better value-for-money. However, crowd and marshalls encouraging encouraging. My first half marathon so enjoyed finish!!!
