Tough course well organised and there should be some lovely photos
Challenging course with plenty of hills. Hard to get into a good rhythm. Very well organised and medal was nice touch. Course may have been a bit long? It didn't match the map as we started behind the finish line. It will be a race that will grow. Not a PB course but great views and great value for money
Great challenging half. Well organised and run. Super grub in the hall afterwards. The organisers should be proud of the event
Tough course but great scenery and spread after, will be back again.
Really lovely community atmosphere. Race was well organised, lovely touch with the band as we left the village. The wooden medal was nice too. Course was challenging but very scenic. Like another poster said I had the course as being a little long even accounting for GPS not being 100% accurate but I'm sure that will be rectified next year. Shower facilities and good spread after. All in all a very good race and looking forward to next year
Not just this race but a lot of races this year seem not to be accurate. And not going by GPS as I know that will be the 1st point made. Accurately measured seems to be a guess with new races.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. The map was prepared prior to official course measurement by Jones Counter. The course start and finish lines were exactly as per the official measurement. We will correct the map accordingly.
I guess the course is measured at the shortest possible route but with open roads it was impossible to take that on such a course with so many bends and turns. That might count for what felt like a long course.
It must be one of the hardest half marathons around which also means its a bucket list item. Can we have the band follow us around the whole way next year, that was a great touch leaving the town
