In short: The most beautiful half marathon course
In full: This was my first time running the Water of Life Half Marathon and it was a fantastic race. The course is absolutely beautiful....along the tow paths, through a field of sheep with numerous kissing gates to pass through and several narrow bridges to cross. Although it's quite a small field I had to queue on occasion, so don't treat this as a PB course. The terrain is quite varied with gravel paths, marshy fields, muddy paths and the odd incline so if road running is your thing it's not to be recommended. The marshalls were great, so enthusiastic and lovely to have them playing their bongo drums en route. And what's more the race was organised like clockwork. Plenty of parking, superb facilities at the sports centre for changing and the race started bang on time. I'll enter again!
