In short: Well organised race over a nice course, with a monsoon thrown in for free..
In full: Really enjoyed the course, with plenty of space for everyone to run in. Marshalls did a great job of directing people around some of the obstacles. Particularly enjoyed the paddling pool towards the end.

In short: Really nice varied course with plenty of space to run
In full: I enjoyed the variety of scenery on offer with this route - much better that last time I ran it. Organisation was great, not the organisers fault that the traffic backed up. Well worth the effort, but can you make sure the wind is blowing the other way next year please :-)

In short: Great course, well organised and perfect weather
In full: Well done to the organisers on this one. They coped well with a large number of late entrants. A perfect day for the race, and a great advert for Halton.

In short: A really nice course, and a great day for it.
In full: This was a great course for a 10k, with enough scenery and undulations to keep it interesting, and still leave you with a good chance of a PB. I thought the meeting place was great, and a good chance to get those legs warmed up before you got to the start.

In short: Fantastic experience
In full: This was all I could have hoped for in a first marathon. The atmosphere created by the supporters and runners was incredible. The organisation was excellent from registration to finish line. This really is a must do.

In short: Great course and well done marshalls for standing around in the cold
