In short: Shocking dissapointment
In full: I've done plenty of half marathons and this was the worst organised. Basically I can agree with all of the negative comments I've read so far, the 3 mile hill at the end was no joke, the start was even more hideous and the lack of organisation was just unbelievable.

Saying all that, if you want to really test your body and you're not after setting a PB, then this is the most gruelling course. I have to say the goodie bag was the best I have yet seen and the medal, well that was worth all the effort even though I will not do the race again.
