In short: A run out over the Yorkshire Hills
In full: A great, well organised half marathon. A challenging course but a good race for those training for a spring marathon. Found the steep downs as hard on the legs as the ups. Well done to all for putting on a great event.

In short: hills ?
In full: read all the reviews and comments from last year and was dreading the hills....i only actually remember 1 which was mile 9 - 10 up past the golf course. I spoke to a runner on the way up and asked what he thought of the race so far and his reply "i live in york....we havent got hills in york" to which i replied " i run in the borders and this is relatively flat"....maybe broke his heart but it really is a fantastic race... marshals were fantastic as is the shirt given at the end....well worth a 400 mile round trip..thanks to the organisers and spectators...see you all next year

In short: Liversedge Half Marathon
In full: My first half marathon, I'd heard horror stories about the infamous 'hills' however although challenging, there were adequate flat sections to aid recovery and gain some ground!
A fantastically organised event, friendly atmosphere and really good course.

In short: Great race! Hard, but a fair test & feels great when you've finished!
In full: Excellent organisation & encouraging marshalls. Memorable hills: short sharp hill before 3M, steep downhill to 5M, nasty hill over the bridge around 7M and a longish drag up to 10M are all etched in my memory. Mainly downhill/flat after this, but for some reason I found the last half mile the hardest. Lovely views on the higher stretches. Overall loved it, but boy did I ache the next day! Not a PB course (or if it is, do another flat one soon after 'cos you'll be quicker!), but great fun and an excellent training run. I'll be back!
