Difficult experience. Will be writing to the race organisers. Main issue was that I suffered from a medical emergency and the staff/facilities on site were completely inadequate. They should be much more prepared with better equipment and competent medical professionals. I appreciate this is potentially an isolated incident, but my fear is the next person may not be as lucky as I was.

I can't believe. It was the first time I run a half marathon and I loved it. I could not believe the first place ... I think I will continue to train and strive to achieve new goals. Thank you very much.

Well organised and lovely volunteers. As my first half marathon, it was so lovely to have the many volunteers motivating runners and cheering them on the entire time. I felt safe along the route as the marshals were always there to ensure we were protected from any approaching vehicle. The whole event was well organised to the water on hand, the fruit, drinks and chocolate provided immediately after the race and the bag drop and race number collection. Overall, a super positive experience and would happily do it again next year!

Nice course. I really enjoyed my run, and thought the start/end was well-organised. It would benefit from having slightly more marshals at some road junctions, given the roads aren’t closed. The atmosphere was pretty dead throughout because it was a road race with no real obvious course for any onlookers. Start and end was good, and the shouty American!

Constructive feedback. Hi, Great route really enjoyed the race. One negative was that I was starving and the water tables had nothing but water. Most events I have done around the world have chocolates, jelly babes or bananas at some of the stations. I was disappointed to not get anything on this race.

Cracking local half marathon. Excellent local event in Wimbledon. Clearly marked signage, motivating and friendly marshals and well organised registration and finish. Will be running again!

Weather was terrible. I even didn't started the race - I came with kids, but the weather was terrible. No tents or any space where they could wait for me, so I left

Good course. It was a good course through Wimbledon and enthusiastic volunteers helping with road crossings / warm-ups etc. It was a shame there weren't more people supporting (but I doubt many people would have wanted to stand out in the rain..!)

I enjoyed the route. Considering what hideously wet, windy and cold morning it was the organisers did extremely well and I enjoyed the route.
