This was my first half marathon and I absolutely loved it - the hills pushed me right to my limit but so glad I managed to keep going, the feeling at the end was unreal.

Challenging course with stunning views.

New medal is fantastic

My 2nd time running this tough but absolutely beautiful half marathon. Lovely local friendly feel, with enthusiastic marshals - especially at the Bloor Hill water station! Thoroughly recommended.

Although the forecast didn't give rain, we got it before we even started. This didn't dampen the spirits though. Then for a short while we had bright sun. Then we were treated to some horizontal rain for a short while before the weather settled on regular drizzle.

The Marshall's and pace runners we were fortunate to have near us massively made this event very enjoyable despite the weather. Big thanks to them all and a special thank you to the 2hour 20 pce runner who gave us massive motivation right when we needed it. :)

Many thanks to the 1:40 pacer.

As a trail/fell runner I still find this route very scenic and the closest you will get scenery wise

The only negative that I can say was the stopping of traffic in the centre at the end. There is nothing worse than having to stop start whilst running, the marshals were as quick as they could be, but a stop is a stop.

Massive thank you to the organisers, great marshells with beautiful scenery . Will be back next year. Only comment, With such an amazing medal I would love to see and pay for a tee shirt.
Thanks

This was my first ever half marathon and all those hills were hard! Great atmosphere and everyone was so friendly and helpful! Absolutely loved it!

I have run this race 14 times now and it’s my favourite Half Marathon. Great scenery and friendly marshalls. Well organised as well. Thanks to all the volunteers

Lovely atmosphere from the start. Marshalls were amazing and the encouragement for everyone was brilliant. It was a tough course with 2 naughty hills but they make you stronger right. I do wish some of the roads were closed due to impatient drivers but that can't be helped. All in all I would absolutely recommend this race and will be to my running club.

Love this run. Haven't been able to take part for a few years because I was away on the date.
Today's weather made it tough (for me), but the marshals were all amazing and the other supporters too. And the pacers! (Especially 2.20 chap-thank you!)
Always such a lovely friendly run to take part in. Views are incredible! I wish I lived closer to Ashbourne.
Thanks everyone -hope you're all home safe and dry!

This is a well organised and established event. The scenery is amazing and the marshals are supportive and attentive (ideal blend).
It's a hilly course that is best with a bit of training beforehand, but it's a rewarding run.

Loved this event, everyone so friendly and looking out for eachother on the roads. Fantastic marshalling, clear directions. Lovely views. Brilliant facilities- actual toilets and easy parking. Overall fantastic race!
