In short: Great event,
In full: This is a great half marathon course, hilly enough to bereak up the run. The organisation was great, parking are we're well marshalled and the support on the course was great.

In short: Superb race
In full: This is the third year I have ran the Stumble, and it gets better (and tougher) each year. This is a well marshalled and organised race and the the kids loved the fun run, I'm not so sure my wife enjoyed trying to keep up with them though.

In short: Relaxed event
In full: This event was well organised, even if the organisers seemed a little laid back. The course was good, the laps were almost flat, and the marshalls counted the laps correctly in my case. The drinks station was ok, cups of high5 and water, there was provision have your own drinks transported to the drinks station and this worked well. The finish was a bit of a let down, you shouldn't have to ask for a medal, but don't let this put you off entering in the future, overall it's a good event.

In short: The organisers should hang their heads in shame.
In full: Firstly may I thank all of the volunteers who lined the route without these people the race could not have gone ahead.
The organisers decision to cancel the full marathon less than 5 minutes before the start was dreadfull, it was the correct decision but it could have been made the much earlier, it was obvious that many runners like myself had dressed for a long afternoon in the cold and rain and we were left with no time change clothing.
The water stations were ineffective with plastic cups, I'm glad I wasn't relying on completing a second lap with only plastic cups to drink out of.
I was lucky enough to run in the first Worcester marathon two weeks ago, it has to be said Worcester made Stratford look like the newcomers to the marathon scene.
I'm very disappointed, next April it will be Worcester for me.

In short: Great event, with a little fine tuning it could be excellent

In short: How to make a good race great? Just add snow
In full: I wes a little apprehensive about the snowy conditions before the start but the snow made the stagger a great run, as ever the marshals were excellent, overall a great race I would do again.

In short: A well organised race
In full: This was my first marathon, and I don't think I could have chosen a better race, the support around the course was fantastic having your name on your number really helped. The water stations were superb they even had Levi's handing out water out at one stage.
