A few more Marshall’s, confusion on where the finish line was, understandably no atmosphere along the course. Great scenery, flattish (deceptive), def do it again.

This is a small low key event for the likes of club runners wishing to get a pb. Would not recommend it for a first half marathon for a slow jogger as once the 10kers have turned back it becomes desolate ...just a boring slog straight out and back with very little support to motivate.

Lovely small race, perfect size and very well run! Course is lovely and flat so it’s good for a first race or a return to running.
