Well run race, in both senses of the words.

Might have helped to have pens for the different paced runners. First mile was slow because so many slow runners were near the front.

Helpful, informative and well organised.

My first event since having total knee replacements in both legs. Jess and Rachel at Nice Work assisted me greatly both leading up to and on the day of the race. I was able to start earlier, as sadly. I am only allowed to walk and this was well organised and efficiently done. All race officials and stewards were enthusiastic and encouraging and helped this 63 year old man achieve a walking half marathon PB.

A great event and well organised

My only gripe is that I was unaware that the water stations were just cups, which you can't drink when running. If I had known, I would have taken a bottle.

Excellent choice for my first half marathon

Very well organised event. Lots of encouragement from volunteer Marshalls and members of the public along most of the route. Thanks to everyone involved.

Decent

Water stations during the race were very unorganised- No water ready at the majority of stations. Feel like water bottles would of been a better idea than refilling through a giant fish-bowl.

Overall, good race and no other issues.

A nice and friendly half marathon

This was a really good event, with a nice course, the water stops were a little overwhelmed but otherwise a great event. Really like the race t-shirt, well done all

Great but hilly half

The race was well organised in general and the course was well marshalled.

My main criticism is (like many other reviews) the water stations. It seemed poorly organised - volunteers desperately trying to pour cups of water while frustrated runners queued / waited. More tables and more cups needed to be ready in advance. This was the worst water stations I have experienced in a half marathon. I'm sure it will have led to dehydration in some runners. Please re think this for next year.

Other than that it was a lovely route and I would recommend to others.

Thanks
