In short: amazing crowds, great organisation and a great course!
In full: This was my second year running Brighton and I loved it! The crowds were absolutely fantastic, so encouraging and really helped drag me round when I crashed at mile 18. Lots more support at the power station end this year which made a big difference and I'm glad they took out the extra hill at Ovingean. No PB for me this year but nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the organisation was excellent. I lost my number on race morning and it was very easy to get a new one. We also used the park and ride and found it very good. Thanks Brighton for another fab marathon! Highly recommended!!

In short: Enjoyed the race and would do it again but could be better!
In full: It was a little pricey for what it was but saying that I enjoyed the run and would do it again. Agree with the comments about the ice/slush, I wasn't too worried about my time today but would have been annoyed about that if I was- just a bit of grit would have helped. I didn't think the registration area was very well signposted, I had to run around to find some safety pins! Shame the place was deserted/closed but it meant no queues in the car so not all bad! A good hilly course and a nice fast finish.

In full: This years t-shirt was much better that lasts (even though a small was massive!) but I agree with other comments about the goody bad- disappointing! My garmin also measured 13.4 miles but that might be me, must learn to cut corners! 1 minutes slower than last year but with recent injuries I can't complain. I enjoy Bristol Half, more people turned out to cheer this year but thats probably because the weather was good! The cobbles, twists and minor inclines towards the end definitely slowed me down but Ill be back next year to beat my time!

In short: Enjoyable race with lovely scenery and wildlife!
In full: I really enjoyed the race today. The scenery was lovely! Particularly enjoyed running alongside wild horses (although not sure they liked it that much though!) The marshals were great, plenty of them, really helpful, encouraging and friendly. Makes such a difference so a big THANK YOU to them! I will most definitely be running this race again and will be recommending it to others!

In short: my first marathon, and Im already signed up for next year!
In full: Fantastic atmosphere and crowd support. Miles 21-23 were punishing particularly with the lack of crowds but the rest of it more than made up for that section. Very hot day- was glad of the showers!!!

In short: swesome- my favourite race to date!!
In full: well, those hills are certainly tough but the downhills felt amazing and the views were great! Got absolutely covered in mud, feet soaking wet and legs nicely aching. Fab race- will most certainly be coming back again. Friendly atmosphere, loved the cakes at the end- you have to do this race!!!!

In short: Enjoyed it for my first trail half marathon!
In full: Organisers did well considering it was the first time the event ran. Registration was easy enough and my supporter enjoyed the refreshments. Good course, very narrow at parts but that kept me going as I didnt want to hold people up! I would definately do this race again!
