This is such a super race. I have done it twice and will happily return. The course is interestingly varied... There are lots of marshals, and there was clearly effective emergency support as I noticed a number of runners down being carefully attended to. The race uses a lot of pacers, so you can be fairly precise in what you want to achieve with the help of pacers. The medal is excellent, and there is a big event village, so the atmosphere is super.

What can I say. I’ve run this race 6 times and looking forward to the 7th. The support is brilliant for the whole course and the medal is fab. Kirstie D

Ran this event for the first time today. it was a great event, very well organised and the atmosphere was amazing around the course. Didn't struggle with tripping over runners at the start so the pens seemed to be spot on. Ryan B

I enjoyed this event, it was well organised and it was very well supported. The race village was well supported with plenty of space for the bag drop. I would certainly recommend this event. Sam B

The route was varied with some interesting landmarks and the support was brilliant. The organisation was superb particular given challenges faced by the organisers in the days before the event. And it was lovely to sit on the grass in the sun in the race village with a cup of tea watching people come in. Criddy B

It's a very friendly event from the staff to marshalls to fellow runners, a real carnival atmosphere. Rich B

If you're looking for a big event with a great atmosphere this is a race for you. Couldn't recommend more. Nat R

This was my first half marathon so I didn’t really know what to expect for such a big race. The race village was big, and very well signed. The directions to the start zones were clearly marked and easy to find. There were a few undulations along the way and that can’t be helped but the course was very clearly marked and safe. The support was incredible! I felt like Mo Farah going through Wollaton Park! The marshalls and water/aid stations were brilliant too. All in all a very well organised and well run race. Annie B

My final thought for the day were the crowd, notts people did themselves proud.  Very well supported and very friendly.  Kept me going through a very tough race day. Thanks! Phill R

Fab support, an interesting course, great stewards, and a certain something that made it big enough and intimate enough at the same time. It's a cracker. Brett A
