Only slight tweak would be after water stations the location to throw away your water bottles was to close so unable to take on enough water while running at pace. Everything else was great!

This is the third time you sent this, after I told you I was injured before the start. I still cannot walk. I then replied and told you I could not do the event on one of your enquiries like this, and still you send the email AGAIN. Poor organisation, and little help for injured runners who ask to reschedule.

This was my first half marathon and the whole experience was great from start to finish. Really well organised, easy booking in, clear instructions and a great atmosphere. I was on my own and felt really welcome.

This was not a flat course as described. However, it was a really well run event especially given the freezing conditions. Amazing effort from all of the people working on the event

Given the extremely cold conditions it was an unreal day and experience. However, the description of the course was inaccurate. To call it flat is not true at all. On the day we were told how the only hill was by the visitor centre and this was untrue too. I live in the Middle East so all my training was on flat grounds. Hence why I chose this course based on the description. Yes the cold conditions are out of everyone’s control. Yet I based my pacing on a flat course and could manage the one hill by the visitor centre. Not all the additional hills and slopes too which then messed up my pacing and how I performed. This is not fair

Not the race organisers fault but it was a bit Icey but apart from as always the atmosphere the volunteers and everyone involved made it a great event.

First time at a Run through event, and would highly recommend. Friendly atmosphere and well organised, the lady doing the commentary was brilliant and all the marshals did a fantastic job in the cold temperatures encouraging us. We will be back.
