In short: The error over the extra distance is unforgiveable. Last time I do this one I'm afraid
In full: Whilst the apologies of the race director are appreciated, the cock up over the extra distance will put many faster runners off this race for good. The pre-race facilities were poor, with people squeezing into the clubhouse. Sadly the scenery was never going to compensate, making it a pretty miserable day out. There are plenty more half marathons to run at this time of year

In short: Plenty of fast downhill stretches to offset the three hills on the route
In full: Well organised race though the first mile can be a little congested. The three climbs are fine once you know where they are, and there are plenty of long downhill stretches. Don't get fooled by the sight of the finish line as you enter the park.

In short: Odd running ten miles without mile markers. Hills not too bad
