In short: Fast 5.
In full: Perfect weather for running this year. Flat course, but lots of turns. Definitely on for a PB, although there is a little evidence that the 5 miles was actually 5+... ??

In short: Very quick course and good mix of people running
In full: Really enjoyed the race and knocked two minutes of my PB which maybe makes me a tad biased. Only thing I'd change is banding at the start, was very slow getting away and spent the first 2km passing slower runners.

In short: Well organised and traffic free !
In full: Nice to have a virtually traffic free course - and in a town, even though the cycleways and underpasses made this an undulating course,the Autumn colours and thro the park helped relieve the greyness!

In full: My first Snowdonia, great event, do not be put off by the tough comments - there are only 2 and a half hills, though the last one goes on a bit, before the plunge downhill ! Hope to return.

In short: Good race. Flat, traffic-free course.
In full: Nice smallish race. Right number of people for size of paths. All contained in park, but means about 2.25 laps. Organisation somewhat poor. There were about 10 of us standing at the published (map in racepack) start line with 10 mins til start ... walked the 1km over to HQ to find the start had moved - no race official at published start to tell us ! Would run again (as it is my local).

Marlow Half Marathon by Trinity_
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 40% |
In short: Tough, but worth the effort
In full: I used this race as hill training in my marathon schedule and I don't know if I'd want to out and out race this one without an oxygen tank half way up each hill! The weather could've been better but that was out of anyone's control and there were plenty of black bin liners being handed out to anyone who needed them at the start.
The organisers did a great job and the marshals were all very supportive and happy, despite having to stand in the rain for 2 to 3 hours.
The only small gripe I've got is that I was handed a goody bag and told it contained a small t shirt, when in fact it contained a large one...oh well, I've got another night shirt.

In short: A challenging start - straight up the first of four hills, in spitting rain. Another one at mile three, and a real cracker at mile 8, only to be finished by one last summit at mile 10. All downhill to the finish. Loved every minute.
