Nice event in the woods. I have always liked Alice Holt Forest and knew I would enjoy the sights during this half marathon, this happened in the later stages as the first 2 5k laps I spent having to overtake the 10k and 5k runners which was a tad frustrating, after that though was a peaceful adventure in the woods. Well run event, volunteers were great.
