Great half marathon on flat tarmac surface, I lost count of the laps which was supposed to be 8 laps and did an extra lap, maybe something could be worked out so runners don’t do this as I wasn’t the only one but I still enjoyed it as the race set up has a great, friendly atmosphere with so many happy Marshalls that encourage the runners on. Brilliant finishers medal 10/10.

This was my first ever 'event' run, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But I loved it! Course was well marked with stwards at the relevant turning points. Lots of supporters, music, water and gels available and a real 'big event' feel to the finish which carried me over. Loved it and can't recommend enough!

Good course, very flat :) , good water facilities, helpful and encouraging Marshalls. One small issue, the starts for the 10k and the Half-marathon were confusing, only 1 Tony sign, a number of people were confused

Great flat route. Well organised with friendly Marshalls. As it's 8 3/4 laps you get the option of water every 1 1/2 miles or so should you want it. Lovely scenery as well.

Great organisation, encouraging marshals and announcers, well-stocked refuelling stops. Would have helped to have a round figure for the laps run but it’s only a tiny (probably location specific) thing. Really enjoyed the entire experience.
