In short: Steep Hills, fast down hill
In full: Lovely run, not many turned out this year though. Slight rain but great hill as always, and very fast down hill, drink stop at the top & bottle of water for the finishers.

In short: Change of route this year, windy & hilly, lots of drinks & sponge stations
In full: Lots of drinks stations, brilliant. I wasn't so keen on the change of route felt like the cars were really close so did run on the pavement at times. Route is very dull if you are local. But nice towel at the end, well organised.

Overall fantastic, my wee one did the wee-nessie they said it was fun. The sun came out also. MY FIRST AND NOT MY LAST MARATHON

In short: Watchout for the downhill, brilliant!
In full: Short race but full of ups and downs, marshalls at some points, but not all. The downhill was very steep, cross-country hills and tracks. Great race, shame all you got was a bottle of water at the end, alcohol for the winners though!

In short: Great race loved the mud!
In full: Well organised, lovely hills nothing too challenging, mud was great and the quick bits in the fields. Lots of locals cheering bit too much road for my liking though.

In short: Well organised, love the water stops!!
In full: My first 1/2 marathon, organised very well, slight shortage of loos though, lovely race all on road, watch out for the cars, few hills nothing major and a quick finish. Had one of the massages afterwards lovely about 5mins worth while. Loved it!!

In short: Well organised, interesting course
In full: Received very thorough details before, the day went very well and the run was interesting through fields, woodland, road & heathland. I don't think it was quite 10k though maybe 8.8.

In short: Excellent route, more marshalls/directions required.
In full: Good turn out for the run, lots of hills and even pebbles. Great run for those who prefer off-road, a few more marshalls/markers would have been good and maybe one more water stop. Otherwise well worth making the effort for, excellent job!
