A very popular race and well supported but not a great course. Not a PB type race but enjoyed the experience

Well organised for such a large event. Course has a few hills but they are a steady gradient, was my first half and found it quite easy. Absolutely Amazing atmosphere from start to finish. Plenty of water stations and gel stands. The spectators were amazing, offering sweets and encouragement all the way. Finish line is well organised, all the charity tents and stalls were laid out well and easy to find. All race information was easy to follow and a great medal, t shirt and goody bag at the end. Great day so entered again this year and the next two
