Banny This has to be the best place to run a first Half Marathon race. what a beautiful place. I knew Marlow from the 5 earlier in the year but this half ecdeeeded that by miles! OK excuse the pun but the scenic setting of this fabulous town and the surrounding villages was sensational. Add to this the glorious autumn sunhine and it was near perfect.
The race itself was a pretty constant from me all the way round. The first five miles were carcking  with a great 1 in 5 downhill section that ran for about half a mile, I tried to make it a measured descent because as I said to a fellow runner.

Jonny Wasn't sure what to expect today.  I hadn't run further than 10 miles since May.  The knee pain I had been getting in training runs held off until the 10th mile but didn't cause that much discomfort.  Legs and ribs feel quite stiff the day after.  Should be able to push on from here and regain my true fitness. Unaffiliated 1:27:05 1:41:00 1:44:26 55.52

linsblake Fantastic race - cannot believe I got under 2 hours with those hills!  Walked up the two really steep ones but the mile downhill to the finish more than made up for it!

Super happy, beautiful countryside, really friendly race, well organised - will definately add this to my calendar! Unaffiliated 1:56:00 1:56:00 1:58:44 55.78

Waveydavey Forgot how tough the hills were.  Planned long training run was more painful than expected.  Good race. Reading Roadrunners 1:34:53 1:42:19 1:45:00 1:49:48 54.87
