In short: Really good fun!
In full: This was my first time at a event like this. I really enjoyed it, the hills were challenging as were some of the obstacles. Really liked crawling under the tanks, was tougher than I thought. Great goody bag at the end, the dog tag medal and army themed shirt were a great idea. Only issued would be a bigger sign on the main road for the entrance to the race, I nearly missed it.

2009 BUPA Great South Run
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Great day out!
In full: This was my first race. I really enjoyed it. Some nice views and the crowds were great. I was quite realistic with my time estimate, though it seemed thousands weren't. The first 3-4 miles I was just overtaking people many who were walking! I don't have a problem with people walking, but why were they in the faster waves. This caused severe bottlenecks at the first couple of bends. Other than that a few extrs toilets might be nice. But overall I loved the race and will be back next year! Hopefully there was a lot of money raised!

2009 Downton Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Great race, I found it challenging though.
In full: Great race and scenery. Shame about the weather, it took me an hour for me to get the use of my hands back. But it was all fun. The marshalls deserve a pat on the back. I thought I was mad for running it, but standing there for hours takes something special.
