This was a really good event (Half Marathon 2025) and was well-organised. There was good support given for where to park and were plenty of toilets before the race started. The route was brilliant and was a great way to explore the city. It would be 5 star if there were perhaps another 2-3 toilet stops throughout the course (only saw one). Something to be aware of, where you lap the race course, the course/path does get quite thin and it's difficult to overtake without going on the grass. We'd had rain the entire week leading up to the race, so overtaking in shoes that weren't for trails was not really possible.

Nice route, good marshalling, baggage drop could have been closer and wish people would start in accordance with their ability but that’s not the organisers fault

Excellent communication about the race through to volunteers on the course. I knew when to arrive, where to go, the race route was laid out, plenty of water stops. Excellent all around
