Great Value, Charming and Enjoyable run

Not often is the word 'enjoyable' associated with a half marathon but in the case of the Sturminster Half its well deservered. The Route is well laid out, with excellent support in terms of the numerous water stations and comedy marshalls (in a good way: they were wearing themed fancy dress). The route is plesent with a few undulations to mix the tempo up a bit; there are some nice views of the surrounding areas and although the roads aren't closed there aren't that many cars to contend with. The race its self is an absoloute bargain! Very Nice T-shirt and an awesome cake at the finish, non-nom-nom. Excellent event, well worth putting in your calender for next year. I normally go for XC half marathons but this race could sway me back towards some more road runs.

Friendly, well organised and good value. It doesn't get much better than this.

Being a relative newbie to running this race was my first at the distance having only run three 10k races before. The car parking, race admin and facilities were all excellent. The race itself was well marshalled with frequent water stops along lovely quiet country lanes. I will back next year for sure.

Really excellent race

A really fantastic race! Good free parking and a well sign-posted walk to the start. A really nice undulating route with no real hills (the one at 11 miles was hardly noticeable). Great frequent water stations with friendly marshals. Really nice scenery around quite lanes with very few cars. Nice cake at the finish. Overall a really good half marathon that I would highly recommend.
