In short: Shorter run for the top 3!!!!!!! (why not me!) In the bottom 2,000
In full: Fantastic day, good organization, and a very good route; view down the Kenilworth road was inspiring & depressing(was I that far behind!). Great spectators & great weather showed that this was not a "Ghost Town" run and was very "Special" (No not Jose!).Will be back next year to try and run even faster up that last hill (out of the Memorial Park), what a lovely surpise for the 12 mile part!!! Well done Coventry.

In short: Fantastic Day
In full: My first half mrathon of this year and I shattered my previous PB of 2 hrs 6 mins and 6 secs by 27 mins 47 secs !! to finish in 1 hr 38 min nd 19 secs, so I was elated.
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and will be back next year. A great race.

In short: Fantastic organisation - they seem to have thought of everything this year! For what Coventry lacks in scenery it makes up for in the warmth of the spectating crowd. I've now done this race twice, and will be back next year for more!

In full: This was my first time at Coventry and my third half - and what a great atmosphere, well organised, well supported, marshalls were great. I got a PB but only just - but it was my third race in three weeks !

In short: What a cracking morning
In full: Not the easiset of courses, but I still got round 2 mins under my PB - I must have been having a good day. Superb organisation, fantastic marshals (even better when a young lady told me I had a nice bum - I'm old enough to be her dad)and the weather smiled on us. Well done to Helen and her team. Great event

In short: Very enjoyable from start to finish, thanks to staff, volunteers and public support
In full: Coventry should be proud for putting on such a well organised event. Hopefully now an established part of the racing calender. A PB so how can I complain. The weather helped I think, because even the hills didn't seem too daunting. Would have liked more goodies at the finish, I should have hidden a couple more twix bars down my shorts!!
