Nice country lanes, fast downhills, tough climbs. Great test of spring training fitness. Good range of runners makes this an event with a community feel to it.

Only improvement I can think of is the photos - the start photos were 80% at the front so all the same runners. I gave up looking for a finish photo - it would have been easier to look under finish times!

There’s a great atmosphere and the hills are a fantastic challenge.

Friendly and welcoming event, with some beautiful scenery, but challenging hills. Great to have the sports hall for getting changed and staying warm and dry before and after the run. Particularly appreciated the marshals at the Portaloos keeping the queue moving quickly!

This is a tough hilly course but one of my favourites.
Scenic, friendly and well supported.

The perks are what make the TW Half Marathon... bands, beer and free burger at St John's Yard. Please keep those going!

This race is, in a word, cruel. I've run other races of all lengths, including 2 marathons, and i don't think I've tackled anything this challenging.

You need to practise hills, it's not just undulating, there's a mountain in there somewhere. I was warned and I still didn't fully comprehend it, so here's what you need to know.

There's a perfectly normal amount of undulation throughout the course, it's tough but manageable. Then at the halfway point, there's a hill that goes on for a mile and a half. If you can conquer this, nothing will stop you, but it may break you as it broke me.

Also if the organisers are looking for feedback: The speaker system in the race village was deeply distorted, never understood a word of what the nice team making announcements were saying.

The marshalls are brilliant, so supportive and encouraging!

Hilly …..but take on the challenge !!

Thanks to all the team that put this event on. It really is a challenging course but so well organised. Very enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you.

Thank you! See you next year!
