In short: Great race. Well organised. Not too hilly and a PB :)
In full: Excellent organisation. Good warm up at the start within the castle walls. Great to finish in the stadium. Excellent marshalling, plenty of drinks stations (thanks to the ATC). A few hills but nothing too major / steep. Only minor critism is that the T shirt wold have been better if it was a technical shirt. I guess the one I've got will do for thr gardening. Will definately be coming back to this one. Well done Carflisle!

In short: My first ever half-marathon achieving 2hrs 33mins which I'm more than happy with. Good for beginners
In full: As I did not know the course I paced myself so as not to wear myself out but upon finishing I realised I could have pushed myself harder and achieved 2 hours. Definately do it again.

In short: Congested start and a lot of hanging around before the start due to having to collect running chip at least an hour before the start.
In full: Allow an extra £5 for Car parking at this event, no concession is made for competitors

In short: good posative first time race
In full: Nothing to bench mark this with so despite weather an all round posative a experience, first race for me, hasnt put me off and learnt much. The only enhancement I would say is, I know we live in a mans world but ladies T shirts would have be very welcome.......do all ladies T-shirts next year and see how the men react lol!!!
