Lovely course, hills not too bad but a bit tedious on the 4th lap for the Half Marathon.
The thing I would say is they skimped on the medals, it's the same medal whether you do 5k/10k/half marathon, save yourself £10 and just book the 5k - really can't understand what the extra £10 cost of the half marathon was for or how it's justified when you all get the same medal.
