Silverstone Half Marathon

I've heard bits and bats from people about this one. Can anyone tell me how flat it is? I'll be there this year and am hoping for a decent time. I know the conditions were horrible last year but nobody can predict that kind of thing obviously Would appreciate any info.
Cheers,
Ed

havent done it for a few years now.... it used to be a lap of the track (pretty flat), down the pitlane (flat), a load of infield stuff (flatttt), bridge over the track (not flat), lap of the outfield (mostly flat) and a lap of the track backwards (surprisingly uphill toward the end! but not too bad).

so flat flat flat.

just dont go out too quick.

Excuse my laziness for not researching it myself, but when is this? It's only a quick trot down the M40 for me.

cheers for the info ed, much appreciated. I've been doin a lot of hill work in training; Silverstone doesn't sound too gruelling, other than the fact that I've never run a half marathon ha! Anyway, thanks again!
