Best finish to a half marathon in uk.

The pace setters were running at nowhere near the pace they should be. Would be better to do away with them in the future if they cannot maintain the pace they were supposed to run at.

Good

The amount of headphones what were used in the half marathon was unacceptable it stated in one of the emails that they were not to be used but everyone was using them

A challenging half marathon due to the elevation gain but a nice route and great atmosphere.

Very enjoyable half marathon

Hello,

Drinks station near 6 miles was very welcome but being on a hill made it hard to run and drink at the same time. Appreciating manner factors to be considered with where the water stations are placed. A very minor note in any otherwise very enjoyable race.

A fun, friendly race

Special thanks for those who catered for vegans and gluten intolerant runners with post-race tea and biscuits. It’s a little thing but so many races don’t even pretend to care!!
Made me like the race even more!!

Excellent race, there is a long 5k hill from 3.5k to 8.5k so some hill work needs to be done in your training. It's not very steep just very long.

Could do with some signs in the school car park for the path to the race that starts outside the school.
The only one on the roundabout at the school entrance was facing the wrong way to see when you arrive by car. It's counter intuitive to walk away from where you want to go to get to the path to where you want to go!

Hilly half marathon

- please organise runners into waves
- please change the pacers flags to 2 hours etc rather than 120 minutes
