BUPA Great North Run by Beer Barrel

In short: They really do need to sort out the walkers. It was just choas. It did not seem so bad last year so maybe the extra 2,000 runners was a bride to far. I agree with all of the comments that the walkers ruined the event.

BUPA Great North Run by Terri Clarke
| | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 60% |
In short: Simply far too many runners
In full: Simply far too many runners and a lot of beginners starting off in the 1.40 area, then stopping or walking after about 1 mile, making it impossible to get into a rhythm or to get past them, will never do it again. its a fun run for beginners!
