In short: As always a great race!
In full: Ive ran this race for a number of years now and always enjoy it. There is a great atmosphere on a good route.

only thing I would say it perhaps some more and better stalls in the park to browze around before and after the race

In short: Great Race but Parking was a nightmare!
In full: Entered the half marathon and followed the instructions that were sent to me with regard to parking. Got within a mile of the parking area about 45 mins before the start of the race however we (me and my girlfriend who was watching) could not get near the carpark or find the enterance - neither was clearly marked - fortunatly my g/f dropped me close to the start and I made it to the start only because they delayed the race start time from 9:30am to 9:40am - from what my g/f says others were not so lucky and were still driving around trying to find parking after the race had started.

The race was good and scenic, very hilly which seemed to go up but not down!? Lots of water stations but some were pretty chaotic. Medal was nice but id expect that for the £30+ entry fee

Not sure Id do this race again unless they sorted out the parking - my tip for next year would be to plan to arrive at least an hour before the start.

In short: Very picturesq route
In full: A nice, challenging run to do on a bank holiday weekend. The run takes in a great view of Poole Harbour. The tracks were very sandy and narrow in places which made it difficult to overtake. Definetly not a PB course but well worth doing and you get to look around the country fair after. You get a medal for finishing (not bad for a 5k). Easy place to find and ample parking. Will be going this again next year.
