In short: Good race well organisedIn full: My first 1/2 for twenty years! Got the bug back. Well organised and marshalled. Good drinks stations. Crowd all round route great.I am doing my 1st ever marathon here again this year!Date of review: January 18, 2007
In short: It had taken me long enough to enter my home-town race but it was well worth it. Rumer Hill is, and always will be, a bit of a killer - as is the Greenway (long, flat, boring!) Definitely entering again and looking for a good improvement on time.Date of review: November 30, 2006
In short: really nice friendly race, running through some lovely villagesDate of review: August
In short: Nice, fairly flat course - well signedIn full: I thought there'd be more 'entertainment' for supporters and family for such a 'big' event - especially given the venue! The course was well marshalled and plenty of water/sponges. I was a little disappointed with 'NO GOODY BAG' given the entry fee of £22 !! Just a bottle of water and a banana...pretty poor I think.Date of review: June 25, 2006
In short: FANTASTIC will do it againDate of review: June 14, 2006
In short: A good day out, but I died of boredom on the GreenawayIn full: The start was slightly chaotic but as I am not a fast runner it didn't bother me, I almost came a cropper over some bollards which we weren't alerted to it was only that a runner in front of me made me aware. I enjoyed the run though, and thank you to the man playing his stereo and to all the others who encouraged us plodders. I would have welcomed more supporters on the Greenaway, surely the most boring stretch in any race I have entered.At least I managed to run up the hills (I hate hills I enjoyed my day and work permitting will enter again, and hopefully will do a better time. It's the only race I've entered where I've been able to park right beside the start!Date of review: June 6, 2006
In short: There was good support throughout the race, which boosted me in the latter miles. My first half-marathon and I would recommend it highly!Date of review: June 4, 2006
In short: My first Marathon: thoroughly positive experience.Date of review: May 27, 2006
