This is the best marshalled, best organised, best set-up of a UK half marathon that I've ever experienced. This is my second run, and I'll be back for another. The course is brilliant, the race village easy and fun, pre- and in-race announcements and encouragement inspiring... just great. The real stellar point is the marshalling, though: helpful and useful at key junctions, connected and interested to cheer on us runners, fun and knowledgeable to chat to on the way past. Thank you all, very much!

Really enjoyed the day/experience.My only niggle at the end was to find that, according to Strava, the course was short of 10K by about 30m, otherwise I would have had a PB!But otherwise great, will come back next year!

It was a challenging course as it was quite hilly. Some paths were quite narrow. But overall, I enjoyed the course a lot. The atmosphere was excellent

The corse was challenging, with an incline at the start and towards the finish with plently of ups and downs throughout, you'll specially pump those arms running up the back hill towards the pond. I chose to complete the half, 4 laps around the track, and definetly felt it towards the end. Its a lovely park with plenty to look at to keep you distracted throughout. 5k would be a fun run to complete but i think 10k would be my perferred run around the park. The half is definetly something i would reccomend my fellow runners to do but you will feel it after, well at least i did. The marshells were great and gave you that little bit of encouragement to keep pushing as you went past, i even got a hi five off one marshall on my last lap, it was nice that they seemed to remember me each time i went past.At the finish, coming along the end straight you're made to feel special with the croud and host on the mic cheering you on.Although there is a water station at the start of each lap, i persinally didnt take on enough water and found myself cramping on the last lap, a rookie mistake, be sure on to be cought out like me. Over all a pleasent experiance.Thank you to all who organised the event...see you on my next run :-)

A good event overall, as you would expect when RT are the organizer. One thing that could be improved is the bag drop as the volunteers couldn't manage to find where they put the bags after the event. We had to wait a long time in the cold just because the bags were not stored in any specific order and it took forever to find them. The course itself is quite hilly and being winter there were some mud and puddles on the way but Crystal Palace park is a very nice location with a decent atmosphere too.
