In short: well organised race over varied ground
In full: My first time at Coventry and would certainly return, excellent on the day organisation, lots of marshals & signs (even to get you from the car parks to the start). Slightly hillier than I expected, and whoever put the short sharpe one in at about 12 miles had a sense of humour. Good post race goodies,considering the temperature on the day, the space blankets were fairly essential. Well done to organisers & thanks to Marshals, (and of course the cheerleaders at the uni !).

In short: Well organised city half .
In full: Perfect weather. Well organised and marshalled. Start and finish at the same place. Two or three hills (up and down). Varied scenery, good support around course. Enjoyable race. Two minor points: Please provide velcro ankle strap for Chip - I used one I kept from a previous half this year - much easier pre and post race. Water stations could be slightly longer especially those with Lucozade and water, also two were undermanned. Otherwise excellent race - will be back.
