In short: Fabulous trail race
In full: A brilliant race, uphill start, nearly all off road and the views once on to the moors were stunning. Not even really spoilt by the rain but I imagine it might have been hard work in the heat. Lovely bag as a momento, very well organised & friendly & encouraging marshalls around the route. Not a fast course but brilliant, what running should be about

In short: Hard but brilliant
In full: New route from last year with more on the coast & less on disused railway, i.e. more hills!? Absolutley fabulous race no good for PBs but the scenery/atmosphere well worth it, plenty of water and well deserved tea & flapjack at Village Hall at finish. I took a wrong turn near the end (Station Rd) so ended up doing 13.5 miles so lost some time and position, others did same apparently so my only gripe is that a marshall or an arrow at that point would have been useful? . The steps at Cloughton & Hayburn Wyke were brutal and my calves still ache 2 days later but I will be back next year, fabulous, a race that deserves more popularity. Well done all

In short: Hot but fun
In full: Like many a 1/2 marathon personal worse for me but really enjoyed it. The Humber Bridge is awesome and the atmosphere was fab. Didnt have any probs with car parking either in or out, that said did get there in plenty of time. Fantastic support from the locals with the hosepipes, water pistols and encouragement. Seemed to be plenty of water & dont know why people complain about cups, most people only take a mouthful out of a bottle and throw it away anyway! Only complaint is not enough toilets at start, big queues. Would def do this race again

In short: Fabulous event
In full: Great half marathon, very well organised (car parking, toilets, start area etc. )and fantastic support all along the route, especially the residents on the street at the end (about 12.5 - 13 mile mark). Plenty of water stations, sponges and showers and a lovely rucksack as a momento. Well worth the 150 mile round trip from Leeds

In short: Great race but why does it always rain?!
In full: A great race, nice route & well organised. Only a small field & very friendly atmosphere, bottled water and a lovely glass as a momento, cant go wrong with this race. Thanks RRR

In short: Second time as good as the first, thanks Baildon Runners
In full: 6 seconds slower than last year but conditions underfoot were worse and I took a nasty tumble in the woods at Shipley (thanks to the runner and the walker who stopped to help me)which shook me up a bit. Brilliant route, fantastic support from marshalls and a nice sweatshirt for your effort. Managed to keep going up all the hills this year (just)

In short: Excellent, big thanks to the organisers
In full: Brilliant challenging 20 mile course with loads of very cheerful & supportive marshalls and helpers. Great selection of gels, chocolate & jelly babies and plenty of bottled water at the many feed stations. Great sweatshirt & 'packed lunch' goodie bag. Can only echo whats already been said, fantastic well organised race, highly recommended & well worth the 200 mile ropund trip

In short: Once again a great race by Roberttown Roiad Runners
In full: Very well organised, great marshalls, plenty of water (choice of cups or bottle) brilliant finish line commentary and just a few hills!! Been a bit under the weather this week so missed out on a course best by 1 min. Only gripe would be the late start time, an hour earlier would be better
