Route was great, really shame that they don’t give you a medal at the end. Instead you got a mug…
Great route. Well organised. Parking easy. Muddy part of route, which made a little slower running but that can't be helped.
Would run it again.
Star marked off as water was in cups instead of bottles, I had to stop to drink. I understand environment but not on a half marathon. Or at least one station with bottled water. I had dissolvable tablets, which I couldn't use. Really annoying. A bag to carry all the goodies in at the end. Lastly , the queue for medals was ridiculously long.

Cracking event. This was my first race and in my home town. To someone who has no prior experience of these events, I was really pleased with the organisation. The Marshalls were great, the organisation was well thought through and I felt very aware of how things worked in advance. The course was very flat with gorgeous views over the river. They even brought the sun out and I managed to knock 6 minutes off my PB!

A well planned route. Lots of Marshalls and encouragement from locals, a good amount of stash and a nice medal, Henry the 8th and his courtiers dressed up to greet you as you ran past the palace. A great flat route too. Highlight was the number of people helping afterwards - cutting race tags off shoes was a real bonus! Will 100% do again

Perfect route and weather conditions..... Highly recommend this half marathon for the flat running and enthusiastic marshalls. Well organised and scenic views, just not sure it’s a ‘Hampton Court’ related run, only saw that location for a few hundred yards! Park & Ride recommended and the brightest technical short I’ve ever seen!
