In short: WIndsor 2012
In full: In ran this race in 2012 (7 oct) and must say it was a very good experience as my first half marathon mostly because of the amazing scenery.
However i got a bit annoyed with the start, i placed myself in the queue next to the 1h45 post to find out that i was doing an appalling 6min/km after the first 1km because the race is not staged and the start is really crowded and you simply cannot overtake anyone. It gets better around 2km, although i lost a good 3min. Staging the start would avoid such problems.
The other let down is the water cups as everyone else mentioned. Theyre small and flimsy, you grab them and there's barely any water left inside. How much a water bottle costs these days?!
The goody bag got worse from what I read, this year was only a Mars bar, a 50cl water bottle and a medal. A bit tough after 21Km...
Marshals are however friendly and overall a good run - would benefit from a few improvements though;
