Fantastically organised and ran event. Tough route with a good amount of inclines so was a tough first half marathon but a fantastic experience and all Marshalls were amazing

A well organised event with friendly volunteers & good vibes. Lots of portable toilets and a coffee, donuts, food and ice cream van for after! The pacers were a well organised addition which helped get everyone off to a good start unlike some events I’ve been too where everyone sets off together so you end up fighting through the crowd to find your pace. Quite a hilly route but fun nevertheless!

Mixing it in with a 10K on that route doesn't work at all (there is a 1.5km stretch on a narrow road with runners going both ways in both races - so you've got the fast HM runners having to dodge in and out of 10K runners).
Event organization is actually great though, local support not so much (also because route isn't support friendly).
PB though so not all bad! (oh and there a re a few tough inclines!)

This a stress free, well organised, and enjoyable event. The communication was clear and concise, there were plenty of porta loo's, and the run was along the country lanes of Solihull/Knowle. I really liked the choice of having half size bottles at the drinks stations with clearly marked areas to place the bottles afterwards, it minimised waste and made it easier to take on manageable amounts of fluid.

A countryside section through Barston and Eastcote follows, which includes the steeper inclines and declines of the course. The route returns to Knowle before following Widney Manor Road and Malvern Park back to Solihull town centre. PB potential.
