Great challenging Half Marathon not for the fainthearted
Fantastically managed HM in the surrounding area around Mote park. The Marshalls were very encouraging and made you feel safe along the hilly route. Definitely one to try again. Public places once back in the park were busy but not surprised as the weather was perfect. 10/10

Well organised and huge kudos to all the marshalls!
Richard Love
Hilly but sensible course, clearly directed, friendly and well organised, with good beginning and end, and the weather this year was perfect.
Please can we have another next year on the same course.

Surprisingly low-key
Surprisingly low-key, no event advertising around town, no road closures ...but very well marshalled, super friendly and enjoyable...picturesque but hilly route.

Great Day!
Staff were very helpful, friendly and encouraging from start to finish. Everything was organised to a good standard. Only comment I would say as there path was very busy running the last mile lots of dog walkers and no clear trail for the runners without getting in the way of the public. Other than that I thought it was an excellent day!

Thanks to all Marshall’s along the way.

A nice sized event with people cheering us on along the route. This was my first half marathon and it was much less stressful at the start than some of the huge events. It was quick and easy to get race pack and almost no queue for loos.
Would have liked more information about the route in the event advertising. There was a map provided but it would have been good to know more about the type of terrain and what it is like in terms of elevations/hills.
James Brooke
Hilly course, but thoroughly enjoyable and extremely well organised.
Mark Torode
Friendly and well organised
Wonderful event and friendly stewards all the way, only disappointment was the amount of dog walkers allowed to get in runners way in moat park towards the finishing straight.

Great event location with a challenging hilly course and a good atmosphere
Only feedback is it would be nice to get medals that marks the year of the event. In addition, the bib itself could include the event name and year too for those of us collectioners.

Great route, nice event
Lots of marshals along the route so always clear which way to go - thanks to them all! Well organised, good comms, everything ran smoothly + tech worked well with times texted within a minute of crossing the finish line. Thanks for a good event.

Brilliant marshalls
At every marshalled point was encouraging and friendly words of support. As a first timer at this distance and with this organisation I felt my progress mattered it made me enjoy the event. Excellent organisation all round.
