In short: Good course to run especially through Luton hoo. Challenging hill at 2k although after that fairly flat course including big decline. Marshals are very friendly and supportive, would definitely do this again

In short: Great race to start new year
In full: Done this race about five times now so used to the hills. Organization is like clockwork with friendly marshals and good crowd at the finish. Would always recommend this half to anyone. Only gripe is the t-shirt at the end, change it for one that you can run in and more then happy to pay extra few quid for it. Alternatively swap for a medal

In short: Good race spoilt by organisation
In full: I have been running this race for 4 years and have always given it excellent marks as MK does have some suprisingly good scenery and the PB is always on the cards, however the organisation on this occassion was very poor and let the race down.
The baggage set up was a joke,(not a funny one). waited 30 mins to collect my bag and I was a fairly fast finisher 1hr 35mins so sympathise with the later finishers as the queue behind was growing very quickly (not the bag handlers fault as they were under enormous pressure). The signage was poor, and the predicted times were non existant.
This was a shame as the race itself is an excellent run and would recomemd it to everyone.
PS: Still waiting for my t-shirt which I paid for.

In short: Great race, Atmosphere was fantastic
In full: This was my 12th marathon and everyone has been great. Completed in 3 hours 20 which was my fastest run for 10 years, I guess the weather helped and the rain was welcoming around the Docklands
