Very enjoyable, staff were very helpful, emails very responsive. Course is what it is, technical rolling and busy but having the opportunity to do it once a month means you have a pb to target

Great atmosphere and organisation. The water distribution was great so much better than the Manchester half marathon. I think the only complaints were that the course was quite narrow at certain points which was mainly an issue for laps 1-2 and I didn’t enjoy the hairpin corners either.
