In short: Not the best organised race! Not value for money.
In full: I thought very poorly organised in the following areas: no portaloos for that number of people is a disgrace. I doubt the Teahouse would have been impressed with the number of runners using their toilet. The bag storage was shoddy and disorganised and as a single woman what would I want with a man's razor and shaving kit? I realise it's "Movember" but there should have been a ladies gift bag as well. Announcements over the speaker system would have been helpful. For £17 I expected a lot more.

In short: Good but some faults...
In full: I've run lots of half marathons and there are never enough toilets, but this was particularly awful - a 30 minute queue before the race. Some warm up at the start would have been good and it should definitely start at an earlier time - 1.00pm is too late. Also, at the end I was only "allowed" one plastic cup of water - I don't want to drink sugary Lucozade after a race; I want H20 and lots of it!
