In short: Horrific weather, nice route, no foil blankets!
In full: My first time doing the MK Half and to be honest left feeling a little disappointed by a couple of minor things which could so easily have been different. Firstly, only water at the feed stations, no energy drinks, and secondly, no foil blankets at the end. No-one could have predicted the horrendous weather, but a foil blanket at the end would have made a massive difference to everyone.
I thought the course itself was good, and the inclines at the end not as bad as I had feared, only the steep (short) slope up to the bridge at mile 12 had me struggling. A big thank you goes out to all the marshalls and brave spectators! To top it all off i beat my pb by 2 minutes!

In short: PB potential, great atmosphere!
In full: Like most people have said this is a very well organised and run event! Definate pb potential because it's a flat race track. Like most, i would definately recommend making it a 10K!

In short: Great all round half marathon
In full: Would definately do it again! Very well organised, great route and crowds! Only slight downside is that there aren't enough loos! But its not enough to put you off!!

In short: Great crowds, and good, fast, pb getting course but let down by the organisation at the finish
In full: My first Bath Half marathon and one which i thoroughly enjoyed (probably because i knocked 19 minutes off my pb!). The crowds throughout were fantastic and really spurred everyone on, and the course was definately quick.
My only complaint was the lack of organisation at the end when you were funneled very slowly back into the village, getting colder and colder.
Those who moaned about being freezing cold at the start need to get a bit of a reality check, it's early March in Britain for gawds sake, what did you expect!! Go to a charity shop, buy a jumper for 50p then ditch it at the start! Bit of a no brainer really!!
Oh, and my Garmin also registered 13.25 miles!
