Particular thanks to the Marshals who do an excellent job

Really enjoyed this half, with everything well planned and a scenic looped course through pretty villages and the infamous hill around Mile 8. Clearly well supported by local community. Only constructive feedback would be to crack on with the safety briefing a bit earlier for a more prompt start in the wind/rain this morning. All noted some delay was from ensuring road safety.

Big thanks to all the marshals

Lovely event. Will be back next year.
Bit too congested in first couple of miles this year as road restricted due to works which seemed to have a knock on effect.

Well organised bag drop off and start facilities. Well marshalled and good support. However on completion of the distance extremely disappointed to find had run out of medals. This is not acceptable at all. Payment is inclusive of medal and it really isn't the same to be told one will be posted out. Those in the last to finish are often those for whom it has been more of a challenge and to complete the distance then find there are no medals left is not acceptable. You surely only sell as many places as you have medals? Limit late entries to ensure you do not run out surely?

Water tables were about right.
Overall a good experience

I feel like this race is aimed more for faster runners, the emails in the lead up reminded us of the strict 3 hour cut off for road closure which was fine as they also had the option of early start if you felt you couldn’t achieve sub 3 hour which was great for slower runners. Unfortunately whilst running from the rusthall area the event organisers decided at the 2hr point that it was time to open the roads and told us to get on the paths because they were being pushed to open the roads early. this lead into a muddy, slippery, puddle mess and we ended up having to walk because there was also pedestrians. It was very annoying to be told the roads would be closed and then all of a sudden to decide to open them early!

Great event, done multiple times, would highly recommend.

1:30 pacers were a bit out of sorts today, went out far too quick and were hanging around at the end. Was more 1:27/28 pacing which was off-putting

Great half marathon. Very challenging but throughly enjoyed.

Amazingly organised, great team who brought the energy despite the weather

I would prefer more volunteers on the uphill encouraging us and also bins near volunteers to throw our gels in.

This race gets better every year. The organisers listen to feedback and continually look to innovate. This year a quiet zone and on course toilets were introduced but behind all that is the same meticulous organisation underpinned by faboluosly supportive volunteers - oh and a scenic but challenigng course! The Race Director and Club should take a bow for putting on a great event year after year.

A single loop run which was also a bonus. I really enjoyed this one and would definitely recommend it. I can’t state enough how well organised the event was. There were even oranges slices that had been cut up for runners at the end which was so very welcome!
