Another great event. Pre race information was sent out in plenty of time. From the marshall guiding us to the parking right through to the team handing out the medals, water and goodies at the end everything really was spot on. The route was scenic and flat - a bonus! Very friendly event staff. Couldn't fault the occasion. Many thanks again to ATW. Deborah M

Really great course and super easy logistics either by car (free parking and plenty of it) of train only a 10 min walk. Beautiful setting, well marshalled and sign posted and lovely event crew. Pas B

A well organised event, was my first official half and I was impressed with the scenic route, wonderful marshals and registration process. Colin K

My 1st time. Thought everything was well organised. Everyone involved was so friendly and helpful.There were water stations and at the end more drinks and treats. Great medal. Definitely value for money. Great atmosphere. I would recommend this to other runners and I’m looking forward to doing it again. Karen S

Well organised. Great support and PB potential is high here. Nice 2 lap event so good for spectators. Went into the race as a training event for a full and ended up close to a PB without realising. Decent medal and good facilities at the white water centre to eat and drink after. Gemma P
