Here some comments from runners...

In short: hot again
In full: 3rd time I have done this race and loved it stayed at the berry hotel so thanks david hyde for putting a great race on see you next year

In short: A fun event, atmosphere makes up for slightly repetitive course.
In full: Very wel organised and good value for money considering the goody bag, road closures, and the feel that this is a 'proper' event rather than a club run. Slightly repetitive course and quite crowded, but this is offset by great spectator support.

In short: good

In short: Fun in the sun!
In full: Well organised, tremendous value in the superb nedal and excellent T-shirt and nice edibles in the goody bag! Quite a few hills, (up and down)and three lanes of runners on different laps/directions at one point. Any way it could go further into Torquay and avoid the two laps of Paignton Green, which were slow and crowded? But many thanks to the sponsors for the generous offer of 3 prizes for each age group, meaning I came away with a prize for the first time ever! We came on a girls weekend outing and all enjoyed the tremendous atmosphere, before and after the race. Well done, Torbay!

In short: Good race for 1st timers - nice medal & v good t-shirt

In short: Well-organised, nice atmosphere, great views and not too challenging course.

In short: My first competitive half, fantastic experience, thanks to the organisers

In full: If I had one gripe/suggestion it would be to maybe have sections within the starting i.e. for peoples expected finishing times, so that faster people who get stuck near the back don't have to fight through the crowds (not that I was particularly fast), this may make the start a little smoother for some. Otherwise a great day out and a really nice 'baptism' for me into the world of competitive half marathons. Well done to all involved in the event and I'll see you next year!!!

In short: Great atmosphere and fantastic scenery
In full: I have only done one half marathon before which nearly put me off running completely. I decided to give this one a go and am really glad I did. Definitely worth the trip from London. Gorgeous scenery and lovely to relax on the beach after. The crowd, marshals and other runners were really supportive. It was amazing to see the faster runners (who lapped me a number of times!), they were incredible. A big well done to everyone who helped organise the event and to all who took part.

In short: Great combination of scenery, organisation and atmosphere!

In short: My favourite to date
In full: Great friendly race, small enough to notice and hear the crowd offering personal support - live band were fab. Really nice t-shirt and medal. and encouragement. Will definiatly be back next year.

In short: once again, smooth organisation, great marshalls, good course
In full: a regular in the calender and again didnt disappoint, great tshirt/medal organisation, and great support around the course from supporters and marshalls.
first aid loooked busy, hope everyone was ok

In short: yet again a PB for me on this my favourite course

In short: great weekend away
In full: travelled down from the midlands for the
weekend so with petrol and two nights
digs etc a bit costly but well worth it.
marshalls galore and also plenty water
all the way round, sponges would have been
appreciated to be honest. the medal was nice
and the t-shirt top drawer, excellent.
have done over 100 marathons/half marathons
and this ranks well in the top.
great race, see you again next year.

In short: Top quality event.
In full: My second year doing this race and I can't wait for next year's! Glorious scenery, top quality medal and t-shirt and a relaxing beer on the Green afterwards.

In short: Great race
In full: Well organised, great route altho 2 laps but great for supporters to see you, lovely weather, great t-shirt, nice medal, would deffinetley travel from Southampton to do it again...

In short: Spectator friendly half with great views and a brilliant t-shirt.
In full: Another great half marathon. This is my local so I do it every year. The course may be repetative but that makes it very spectator friendly. Bring the whole family they will love it. The technical t-shirt was a nice touch this year. One you will actually get some use from.

In short: Well organised, fantastic scenery, great goody bag.
In full: First time at this event, the first 2 laps of the green helped settle you into your pace although a little crowded in some spots. Hills were challenging but no where near as bad as I was expecting. The organisation was spot on. Plenty of water stops which unfortunatley meant a lot of discarded cups to jump over. A sponge station would have been a great help but there was a nice chap with his hose pipe out at half way which was a blessing. Great for supporters with the finish running alongside the beach. Hats off to St Johns ambulance who I saw were quite busy.
Great goody bag with medal and t shirt. Well done to everyone involved, can see why it fills up so quick.

In short: A great trip to the seaside
In full: My first half marathon so a bit apprehensive but the great atmosphere and excellent organization made it a perfectly enjoyable day. Blue skies before the race and the organizers even managed to arrange some cloud cover for the race itself! Nice medals, good T-shirt and a PB (...always good to get a PB on your first at the distance ;o) ). Overall a thoroughly good race.

In short: Lovely race to do.
In full: Well organised and marshalled run,value for money, sufficent water points and even a nice t shirt & medalion at the end. Best half in Devon in my opinion.Ideal for spectators/family too if its sunny.

In short: Thoroughly well organised race, and good service at end massage etc.

In short: Best organised event I've done so far. Excellent.In short: Plenty of helpful marshals

In short: Well orgainised race, and I'll certainly be back next year
In full: Plenty of support from the spectators, and also from runners in the opposite direction, which is nice! I'm not a big fan of laps, but at least you know what's coming next time I suppose. The hills are tame by Devon standards, so decent potential for a PB if you're from around here. Nice goody bag, but an entry fee to match. Good organisation and marshalls, plus plenty of drinks stations.

In short: Very well organised and marshalled race, and very good value with a great technical tee shirt and goody bagIn short: Surprisingly challenging but very well organised event.
In full: The route out to Torquay included some deceptively challenging undulations - and the double loop around the green at the beginning was nice and flat to spread out the field but slightly boring... overall difficult mental challenge in places with passing most of the field throughout the race (on other side of road) - but very well stationed and nice strong support at finish! Some uplifting music at the end would have helped?

In short: Very well organised, lots of water stations and great support around the way. Super goodie bag - good value for money! A challenging course but would def consider doing it again. Came as a group of ladies from Kenilworth runners- lovely weekend!

In short: Great atmosphere, not as warm as I thought it would be!

In short: Knocked almost 4 mins off PB so happy! The whole race ran very smoothly. Nice scenery and the support was pretty. Perfect for the family watching as they get to see you a few times whilst keeping the kids entertained on the beach lawns!

In short: beautiful setting great crowds
In full: Easy for me to be happy happy as I ran a pb but honestly loved this
