In short: unseasonally hot, but a great run!
In full: My first run off road, and also my first half marathon. didn't train too well, but still managed it (just about!) and the 20 quid entry fee seems worthwhile when you consider the fantastic goody bag and the marshalling/organisation. thanks to all the onlookers cheering us on, it helped!

In short: My first organised event, pricey but well organised and good intro to running
In full: not sure what the parking was like, but the train station was only a short walk away from the start. route well organised though spectator mobility looked dire, particularly at the start and finish.
It was my first proper event and I was very pleased with the whole thing. I had no idea whast pace i was expecting, so opted to go for an hour. I did it in just over 50 minutes but could have beaten that quite easily if it wasn't for the difficulty in overtaking. choose your starting group wisely!
Bit pricey but a good day, nice pretty medal and a brill goody bag. warm down afterwards with a walk to the salisbury by oxford road and a few scoops...
