In short: Excellent experience bar the scrum at Horseguards
In full: First one for me and even though I had a bad run I had a great experience. The organisation was fantastic before and during the race and the ideal weather certainly helped.
My only issue was with the absolute scrum getting in and out of the rendezvous at Horseguards parade which took an age and for kids was not fun at all. If I'm lucky enough to get in again I'll learn the lesson and arrange to meet elsewhere.

2010 Gosport Half-Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Good race, well organised, great weather
In full: First half marathon and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The organisation was excellent with great marshalling. The scenery is a mixture of the fairly mundane and then the very scenic bits along the sea front when you're feeling tired near the end. Helped by perfect weather but I'd definitely do it again even if it had been chucking it down.

In short: Nice run- great location-muddled start
In full: Great location and lovely weather made it very scenic. The race start was a bit confusing with, seemingly, one guy trying to get the runners the right side of the start line and facing the right way. Another couple of people at this point would have helped. Small issue really though as on the whole good fun and plenty of space for spectators and family to view and play.

To those that missed the Tshirts, the pre race leaflet said they were in the Sports Hall; they were.
