2nd race of six in the Half series. A tough route but stunning views. Great Marshals and well organised. I did have a fall mid way and hurt my hip. The support and care from fellow runners was great.

Beautiful course. Nice t-shirt and medal. The last 3 miles uphill were gruelling, but I knew it was coming. At over 16 miles and 1000 feet of climbing definitely a tougher than usual 'half marathon'. My only complaint is that it needed better signposting and more marshal...

Beautiful course. Nice t-shirt and medal. The last 3 miles uphill were gruelling, but I knew it was coming. At over 16 miles and 1000 feet of climbing definitely a tougher than usual 'half marathon'.

My only complaint is that it needed better signposting and more marshals round the course. I was often unsure of the way and had to made educated guesses when I couldn't see another runner in the distance. I wasn't the only one. At one point, two of us stopped at a junction looking around until we spotted a marshal waving in the distance. At another path split two of us ran the wrong way, before we realised and doubled back. I was carrying a soggy map, but didn't know whereabouts I was on it.
