In short: Top organisation from Bitton roiad runners and Gordon Robbins
In full: I love the whole event, from the respect given by all the runners prior to the race, to the excellent marshals,and goody bag. The only thing i don't understand is the numerous runners who enter this race and wimp around the mud on sodbury common, if they are'nt going to embrace the mud, why take part ?

In short: My all time favourite
In full: My fourth , my last , my everything !I will forever remember the london marathon, the crowds never fail, the right turn at big ben is a moment to cherish, there is no sight like it to behold anywhere on earth for an amateur runner. I defy anyone to turn into the mall and take those tiring last 1000 yards without a tear in your eye or a lump in your throat.London,thanks for the memories.

In short: The event i look forward to most of all, its unique, its Sodbury, there is no where else like itit
In full: Congtratulations Bitton Road Runners and Gordon Robbins, great organisation, fantastic Marshals. I just love the whole affair, i enjoy Sodbury for the weekend, the mud, the filth at the sheep dip ditch of a questionable origin, and oh! the Eau De Toilette Sodbury Common, you should bottled it and sell it in time for Christmas !! Fantastic. Gordon, make it possible for two runners to get out of the Pig Trough at once and you've racked it !

In short: Top quality organised evcent
In full: One of the best organised Half Marathons i've taken part in, excellent goodie bag and its good to be presented with a medal. I would also like to add my sincere thanks to all the marshalls who braved the atrocious weather all morning and still gave me a smile and encouragement to the end. Fantastic, thank you.

In full: A fantastic race with great organisation from everyone at Bitton runners.Congratulations to Gordon Robbins for coming up with the great new course, keep the sheep dip ditch in at all costs, it was a hoot going through it. I've never been as filthy in my life i car'nt wait to romp through it all again.Incidentally i met a bloke while waiting to go through the ditch, his knees were'nt even dirty he had obviously wimped his way round the mud, don't enter again, its not for you !

In short: The muddiest fun i've had in years
In full: Twelve months ago i had serious surgery and on the anniversary of my op. i wanted to do something special to mark the ocasion. I went to Sodbury and ran the slog and had a muddy good time. The cheer i got when i went headlong into 18 inches of liquid mud was brilliant while the band played on !! When i got to the river i thought great, i can wash off all this mud and was basically clean again only to go across the road and end up face down in liquid mud again, when i got to the finish they could'nt see my number. Marshalls and spectators in the rain and cold were brilliant. Mud, mud and more mud, i'll be back for more.
