In short: Not too impressed
In full: It wasn't bad but the long wait at the start could have been explained better.
And what's this about chocolate bars? When I finished (2:30) there was only a crowd of runners in the finishing funnel, no stewards to direct you and no smile or well done from the lady giving out the medals (and after 2:30 hrs I want it!! ;-)). I did get a banana though!
Despite all my moaning, I would do it again one day but I need to practice mountains first!!
Oh, and the girls at Mile 11? AMAZING!! Motivated me for another mile.

2007 Boxing Day Run www.boxingdayrun.com

In short: Bloody hard work!
In full: Loved it after but not during. Steep hill to start, went downhill along a muddy track for a while then kept going up, up and up. Finally got a downhill secion half a mile from the end but by then I was knackered. Get stuck behind a walker and you can't pass, the track is pretty narrow in many places. Well worth the price of entry though if only for the pint at 2 miles, and a cheap
t shirt too if you want to buy one.
Easy to find and fun to do but I won't be back, only because I would rather do a fast run on Boxing Day, this one is definitely for fun runner and walkers only, unless you get on the front row!

In short: I loved it
In full: My first half and what an introduction! I loved every pain filled minute of it despite the pock marks left by the hailstones. The marshals were fantastic all the way round, very encouraging. No complaints except the price of food after.
