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!

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.
