In short: Splendid, well organised race
In full: After driving 5 hours to get to this one my hopes were high, and I was not disappointed. The organisation was slick, the marshals encouraging and attentive, the course (although undulating in parts) was perfect, the finish well organised and plenty of smiles all round.
My daughter and husband did the Fun Run and have equal praise.
Thankyou!

Leeds Half Marathon by Matthew Wild 2
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Great Value for Money
In full: The start of the race was very well organised. Last year there was a bit of a bottleneck at the start, however the organisers dealt with this by opening up both sides of the Headrow this year.
There was course generally was undulating and there was quite a steep uphill part for the first 4 miles or so. Throughout the course there were enough supporters cheering everyone on. I think that the lack of supporters mentioned were only in places that could not easily be accessed by the public. The Police were even cheering runners on at one point. The finish was well placed and there was enough room for my family to get a good spot near the finish and take some decent pictures.
This is the second time I have done this race and I achieved a new personal best. For a half marathon, I think that this race is excellent value for money and I will definitely be coming back this year. My only criticism is that there were no energy drinks this year, however I am not sure if Asda were one of the sponsors this year as they provided the drinks in 2012.

Hastings Runners 5 Mile Road Race by Striker JC
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Flat, fast, well organised, good value, super medal
In full: Unlike some races this one is as flat as it claims. Also some of it is sheltered enough to offer some protection from any headwinds (common on coastal runs).
Good support, lots of club runners but still fine for everyone. No chip timing but a nice wide start means not much time is lost on gun time (and we all have stop-watches anyway don't we?)
Also; one of the nicest medals I've seen. Very classy and actually worth doing the event for on its own!

Cheshire Oaks Chester Half Marathon - Race Full by Richard Westwood
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Brilliant event... again!
In full: Having done the half and full marathons at Chester last year, I had high expectations - which were met. The event organisers are really making a name for themselves now - other events take note, this is how things should be done.
The course is undulating but mostly the climbs are short and not too challenging (though the one just before you hit the 13th mile is a bit mean! Haha).
The event is well supported and the marshals/volunteers deserve special thanks.

In short: Lovely but tough
In full: Beautiful countryside, great organisation and all over a lovely little race. The hill at 6.5km is really tough if you're carrying a bit of extra weight but are determined not to stop running.

In short: First LDWA event - excellent experience
In full: Hills, wind, hail, sun, wind, cake, beer. Fab day out on first LDWA outing for me. Loved the cheerful completely non-competitive atmosphere (well I wasn't at the front, so no idea about that to be fair). Sun came out enough to allow glimpses of glorious views. Self confidence in your own navigation essential - following others, even those that seem experienced, is never recommended!
