In short: Very flat, good potential for PB
In full: Good half marathon, loads of marshalls and road closures. Can't believe no one's mentioned the steps to go under the bridge, vert dangerous in the wet and slowed to a walk at that point. Very congested at the start and nightmare collecting my bag at the end. But if you're looking for a PB this has got to be the race for you, fast and flat.

In short: Expensive, but good atmpsphere and organisation
In full: Very well organised at the start, plenty of toilets and pens for anticipated finishing times. Shame we were late getting started. Well supported through out, especially the town centre and great finish in the stadium. Is expensive though, especially with the charge for parking on top.

In short: Best half marathon in the South
In full: Superb organisation and great value for money as always. Puts other local half marathons to shame. Looking to run your first race, you can't go wrong with this one. Will be back again next year.

In short: Best Half in the Area
In full: Superb organisation and marshalling, small field of runners, good support and fantastic goody bag (puts Fleet to shame). If your looking for your first venture into a race, you can't go wrong with this one. Once you've done it you'll be back for more. Excellent event.

In short: Longest half marathon I've ever done !!
In full: 13.2 miles by my Garmin, how can they get the distance wrong, ruined my chance of a PB. No projected finishing times at the start, but overall nice course and well marshalled although I wouldn't say it was "flat", quite a few inclines. Shame there wasn't a goody bag at the end, but nice medal.
