although I'm not experienced in half marathons the marshals and people of this event made a very special day thank you all.

Last year was great, this year even better. Thanks for everyone involved for another great run. The race has a character all of its own, fantastic course and atmosphere. It also represents real value for money. Wont be long before the secret's out.

Excellent - compared to a certain city half marathon not too far away on same day, there was adequate changing, loos, you can park, get a free massage, not get squeezed getting to the start line, and great views on the course

Thoroughly enjoyed the challenge! Great preparation for the Texas Marathon that I am running on 2nd April 2006 for Cancer Research UK. Well organised and marshalled. Well done! Will be back next year and might even get my wife to do it!

Dear Hogweed Trotters
Your excellent event is destined to become one of the 'great' Half Marathon road races in England. Not a pb course but one which I'm proud of having competed in. Congratulations

Enthusiatic marshalls, showers, massage, cakes served by smiley ladies. I've been racing for twenty odd years and if you keep this up then I won't be able to find an excuse to stop.

I've been racing for twenty odd years and haven't found a better event than this. Great course, enthusiastic marshalls, showers and scrumptious cakes served by smiley ladies. Hope to see you next year.

Brilliant.Like a fell race but on road.It was so well organised I would have thought the race had been going for 20 years not 2 & you still seemed to have every Hogweed in the race! A really scenic, friendly race & amazed at how you could find 13 miles of quiet lanes & so many hills. We need to keep this race under our hats ! A big thank you to all involved.

Excellent Race with great scenery. But a bloody hard hill in the middle!!
A very enjoyable race once it was over!
See you next year!

Great day, the whole event was brilliantly organised and the run was really enjoyable, even those lovely hills!.......honest, and the sight of all the food before the start I'm sure made me run faster, did'nt want to miss out on that. A big thanks to everyone involved the HHH can only get bigger.

Just wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone involved in organising todays race. Friendly atmosphere, good facilities, well organised .. in fact excellent all round and the efforts and encouragement of the marshalls and others involved is much appreciated. What a picturesque course too! If only you could perhaps level out a couple of those hills....
