In short: A great race on a very tough course which genuinely felt like it was all up hill!
In full: Toilet facilities were poor really with horrendous queues but other than that very well organised. Good atmosphere but can't understand how anyone could say it beats London? It doesn't come close. A really tough challenging half marathon if you are looking to test yourself.

In short: A mini London Marathon, all the atmosphere and a quarter of the distance!
In full: Well organised, great course, good crowds and a excellent atmosphere in certian places. Nice medal and a better t-shirt than Silverstone or the VLM. Worth the effort.

In short: Poor marshalling two years in a row
In full: To hear the number of people who were misdirected because of poor marshalling is unforgiveable really. Surely someone needs to own the organisation and confirm that there are marshalls where needed. The same thing happened in 2009 but no lessons seem to have been learned.

In short: Well organised and clearly going from strength to strentgh
In full: I agree with some of the reviews that the event itself is maybe suffering from its own popularity. That said, some extra facilities are the only thing missing from this fast, friendly and well organised race.
