In short: Lovely morning in the park, the weather was sunnier than it's been all summer!
In full: Nice friendly race. Lovely run round the parks.

The marshalls were very friendly and the supporters were very vocal.

Good medal & t-shirt, and those nice oaty bars in the goody bag, so I was happy! (Very easily pleased, lol)

In short: Fantastic race
In full: This was my first half, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The organisation was superb, there were friendly marshalls and cheering locals all around. Lots of water available, and a lovely momento at the end.

I was worried about silver street after reading previous years reviews, and although it was quite steep it wasn't nearly as bad as i'd imagined!

Thank you somerac for a fantastic day!

In short: Well organised, friendly, excellent day out
In full: This was my first race, and I was very impressed with the organisation and the wonderful atmosphere (plenty of people cheering us on). The medal, t-shirt and (2) goody bags were fab.

The only complaint I had was people ignored the time boards and there were an awful lot of slower runners that started by the sub 45 - sub 50 min boards, which meant had to spend most of the race trying to get past people on a very narrow course, just to make the finishing time I was aiming for.

Overall though, i'd recommend this race, I had a really good day out :-)
