Beautiful race

Such a beautiful park to race in- although quite hilly at times! Officials were lovely and the food/ drinks at the end were plentiful. Would recommend :)

Great atmosphere, friendly marshals, good course. I would definitely recommend this race and will be back.

There are two improvements that could make the race even better. 1. Have a stall selling tea and coffee at the start. The nearest coffee shop I could find was half a mile away. 2. Change the course slightly so there is no loop right at the end. To approach the finish and then have to run away from it is soul destroying. Extend the course at a different point and let runners run straight to the finish and over the line. But these are minor criticisms, overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable event.

Scenery second to none.

Great course with hills and views

I lost a shoe lol. There was a section which put us onto boggy grass rather than running along path. It would have been fine but my foot stuck and I lost a shoe! Also slightly evil finish to be so close to the end and have to do an incline detour. But fab course and the volunteers were amazing! Great support all the way round.

Tough but rewarding

Quite a challenging course but so much beautiful scenery.
Volunteers were lovely. Bit disheartened at the end to realise the finish line was further than it looked!

For my first semi-marathon, I could not have had better choice....

Very good race and well organised. The only annoying thing is that the results are difficult to find.

Beautiful hilly friendly race

Moving the finish line so there was a loop at the end without a warning on the map felt like a blow! I’d sprinted at the hill and then had another 400meters to go!

Great race and nice atmosphere

I would have liked more trails and less tarmac, and it would be great to get the race results in real time.
I loved the warm up at the beginning!

Lovely local event, but a challenging half.

Tea and coffee vendor at the end would have been good. Shame that you had run out of fruit when I got to the end. Lovely t-shirt.
Road crossing at roehampton gate not very well marshalled, other road crossings were better.
