First time I've done this event and I loved it. Race numbers were posted out. Baggage was very quick and easy. There was a good atmosphere in and around the start area. Route itself was on closed roads. I would describe the race as undelating but a fast course. Yes, there were hills but there was also fast sections. This was underlined by the fact I got a half marathon PB. Crowd supports was excellent. Marshals were awesome and water stations were regular. Finishers were rewarded with a nice, solid medal and fantastic finishers shirt. There was a FREE post-race massage- always a nice bonus. In summary- Super race. I'll certainly be back.
