In short: another superbly organised race from Chris and Andy
In full: my second Chester half (having ran the last two Chester marathons)and despite a lame performance by myself I cannot overstate what great half it was. Superbly organized,more portaloos than any race I have ever done, a great route, superb Marshalls and drink stations. Fantastic crowd support in one the most beautiful places in the country. This was my 62nd half/full races and quite simply Chester is in my top 3, a must do race. The full marathon is equally as good if not better

In full: Even better than last year. Great day had by all. This must rate in the top 5 halfs in the country. I rate this up with the Rock n roll series which are out of this world. As Mr S would say "I will be back"!!!

In full: The Chester Half, was my first half and I can't wait to do it again next year, the climb towards the end was very tough, though most of the route, maybe too after 12 miles, though the rest of the route felt flat.
