In short: Great race
In full: This is a great race, the field is not too big like most big city half marathons and more reasonably priced, good drink stations and good support in places. Mile markers not in the right place though, mile 12 was much too long.

In short: Not an epic, but a good atmosphere. Drink stations were poor and need sorting.

In short: a pleasant enough race but it gets crowded in a number of places and the drinks points were poorly managed - especially at 10 miles where we virtually had to stop because of crowding, just at the point where we were looking to push on for a fast tii

In full: Many thanks to the lady with the jelly babies at mile 7- made all the difference :)All the stewards were very encouraging and the atmosphere was lovely. I had a great time, maybe because I ran a much better time than I expected,and would do this again for sure. The up-hills did me no favours but the down-hills were great

In short: My first Half Marathon, I thought it was ACE!!!!
In full: My first Half Marathon, I live in Wakefield so this is local to me. I thought the hills weren't to bad and the the first downhill bit after the top of Meanwood was brilliant (lots of support), I had done 11 miles in training and the last mile of this felt like slow motion. I would definately do it again, the finish in Millenium Square is great, I ran it in 1hr 51 so I was well chuffed!!!!
