Well-organised race that isn’t overpriced or too commercialised

A rural and relatively flat course

Marshals did a great job today!
The parking/ race HQ/ start/ finish set up was random - I think I walked a half marathon getting between the different areas!

Great course, but the locations of the start, parking and HQ needs a review- and toilet options - minimal

The location of possible parking against the rugby club and the start were ok - but HQ was so far and toilets as always not well thought through. Is it not possible to add porta-loos and make more of the rugby club eliminating HQ in future? Very last minute extra loos were unlocked at HQ - why weren't they available from the start? Some of us were late starting due to this inconvenience

Gently undulating

The walk/jog to/from Race HQ to/from the start/finish are not ideal. If weather was poor, would not be pleasant. Many did not go to Race HQ as was too inconvenient. With new HQ, why not move start and finish both to near Race HQ??

Thank you marshalls, you were excellent

Food and drink at the finish line would have been nice.

Very enjoyable.

I came a long way to run this event. My club mate Liz Kirwan finished 81st in 2015 in 1:33. Tragically it was her last race, she died of a heart attack two weeks later aged 34. Many Les Croupiers runners have come to White Horse over the years as a personal tribute.
One piece of constructive criticism - the start was not good - no gun or whistle. For a field this size everyone should know when the race starts. Being a traditionalist, I like races with history and a personal mug is a nice touch.

Lovely scenic and speedy course

Split race start / HQ / car parking was quite a trek!

Friendly (local) half

Very much like a Subday club run along the rural lanes. Always a great event, thank you. See you next year.

Having a cut off time is perhaps not being as inclusive

1st half in almost 20 years and really enjoyed it

Brilliantly marshalled all the way - thanks to everyone one of them! 4 water stations turned out helpful as it got warm. Quiet route on country roads and pretty flat, so very beginner friendly (me!!) and good for a reasonable start. Overall excellent from registration to crossing the line to get a bottle of cold water and my mug!! Thanks to all the organisers and helpers for a great morning.

Great flat road race along pretty country roads.

Perfect for beginners doing their first half marathon, or those looking to get a PB. Very well organised, sign posted and lots of friendly marshalls throughout.
