In short: Hilly and horrible
In full: As my first half marathon, this was a real challenge. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the hill profiles before the race, and several times whilst running it. Marshalls nice and friendly, if a bit thin on the ground. Lovely scenery, shame about the traffic jams - running uphill breathing in fumes wasn't much fun. Small race, so it was just me and a friend near the back for the most part, with no-one else in sight. Probably better for more experienced runners.
