2012 Hastings Lions Half-Marathon

In short: Cracking race
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday. Very well organised and a brilliant atmosphere. The locals that turned out really spurred you on with very vocal support. They were pretty much present along most of the route.
The course was very challening, not an easy one for PBs. I almost got mine, had I have got it on a course like that I'd have been elated! That will keep me coming back :-)
One minor criticism was the lack of bottled water at the stations being such a warm day. Maybe if they could get sponsorship from a company willing to provide bottles would be great.
Other than that couldn't fault it. Cracking race and would recommend to anybody.

2012 Bath Half-Marathon

In short: Brill atmosphere, crowded start
In full: Enjoyed this race. Bath is a lovely city and the crowd watching it created a great atmosphere. The Runner's village had lots of facilities however the many non-runners in there made it difficult to pass through. Disorganised queues for the toilets, the lack of barriers meant people arriving just before the start time decided they could ignore the queue most of us were in for 20minutes already. That plus having to squeeze out through the narrow bit by the rugby ground meant that I was 9 minutes late passing the start line. Stuck behind a guy dressed as a banana and various superheros meant that any PB I had designs on, was out of the question.
Would still recommend people to do. I just wouldn't do it again.

In short: Great atmosphere
In full: This is my second time doing the Audi 10k. The MC was brilliant again, very funny. Organisation was brilliant and it was a fun day.
I agree with the comment RE traffic. Was tricky at times but the marshals did a great job. It would help them if SOME of the roads were closed.
Not one for the PBs. As mentioned it is quite hilly.
Would def do it again

In short: Beautful course, great organisation
In full: Seriously tough but what a beautiful course! As mentioned by the other runners mile 10 is a heartbreak hill. I don't know I managed it but I did manage to keep running up it.
The stewards were very helpful and encouraging, as were the local residents who came out to cheer us on. Lovely atmosphere. Very well organised. I'll def be back next year.

In short: Good craic
In full: Good friendly atmosphere on what was a lovely sunny day. The marshals did well in holding up the traffic. It was well organised but would have been a lot better had they have closed off the roads to traffic during the race.
Would definitely do it again. The guy on the mic deserves a mention, he was hilarious.

2009 Geoff Moulden Wimbledon Ten Mile Road Race

In short: Small field but good race
In full: This was my first time, it was a fairly small turnout around 85 people. Normally it is a 10mile race so not sure what turnout usually is. It was well organised and marshalled. One criticism was the water stations, only small cups of water handed out on what was quite a warm day. It was a fairly quick pace and I scored a PB in what was my first event ever.
