In short: Great race very well organised
In full: No excuses not to pb on this 1! Largely very flat 1 incline, crowds were very supportive as well as marshalls. Nice t-shirt at end only slight grumble was that start was a bit narrow but didn't spoil what was a fantastic race. Will be back next year

In short: Very well organised race for very good causes
In full: Not a club runners race, more for fun runners and walkers, but was smoothly organised despite 1st km been a bit of a squeeze. But what do you expect when there are 11,000 people running. Supporters and marshalls were very encouraging and good t-shirt and goody bag.

In short: Quite a challengening course, good t-shirt
In full: A undulating race with 1 bigish hill, however it did have some fast sections. Great route, around the town centre and excellent finish. Friendly marshalls and supportive crowds. Also liked the memento and nice t-shirt plus goody bag not bad for a fiver! Well done to Halifax harriers for putting on a great race, will be back next year.

In short: Far from flat quite undulating actually but still had pb potential
In full: Despite been a little hilly it was still a fast course, but not as fast as last year though. Well organised race with friendly marshalls but last k was a bit of a drag. Good t-shirt and overall a good race.

In short: Very testing course what never let you settle
In full: Testing but enjoyable at the same time, could feel legs going at 8k. Supporters were very encouraging and marshalls were friendly. Only disapointment was the cheap medal at the end but would advise anyone to give it a go.
