Cardiff Powerhouse Marathon by Plodding Hippo
| | Overall score | | 20% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 20% | | Organisation | | 20% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 20% |
In short: if you are slow--forget this race
In full: o publicity, so form the beginning we had to dodge irate motorists and endure abuse
10 miles up and down a dual carriageway, where your support cant get to you, is hardly ideal
and to then have to come back into the town centre, and have to tack on a loop around the stadium dodging tourists was unpleasant , to say the least.
This rae almost stopped me running for good--im coming back to lay the ghost this year for good
