In short: Lovely course
In full: This was a lovely course but the start was too narrow for the number of runners. There was also no one directing people where to go before the start, and I ended up behind a spectator with a pushchair! The course was really scenic through local countryside though.

Although there were people out on the course watching they only seemed to cheer for the organising club runners, which was a bit disheartening at times. The final stretch into the square was good with plenty of cheering.

Excellent technical t shirt and a medal so very happy with that! Will hopefully do it again next year!

In short: Excellent race with fantastic organisation
In full: This was my first half marathon so I was guaranteed a PB! Considering it's only in its second year this race was fantastically wel-organised. There were plenty of marshals who provided much needed encouragement and jelly babies. Finishing in the football ground was brill as there was plenty of room for runners to recover whilst waiting for friends or club-mates to finish. I'll definitely be back next year and after the success of this race, plan to do another 1/2 this year!

In short: Hillier than expected!
In full: My dad encouraged me to enter, describing the course as undulating. We obviously have different definitions of undulating! Despite the course being tougher than expected I enjoyed it and now have something to aim for next year!
