In short: Good city run in and out of a park setting so both on and off road
In full: 1st time running this, flat course in a plesant setting. One or two climbs to get out of park but nothing extreme as short and should be able to get up in 1 go. Plenty of support along way and plenty of marshalls to guide you. I too found it long (6.4 miles). Cones in road so plenty of room to go past people and no bottlenecks on paths even on toe-paths by river.

In short: Tough in places and quite twisty at times
In full: Good introduction to race running as field not too large. Some steep hills in places but manageable. Some of the grass and gravel sections could have been better signposted. Definitely need your own drinks as only cups of water supplied. Plenty of well wishers outside of houses and along course in places. All in all good first half marathon but would have preferred it without the off road sections and a few less twists and turns.
