In short: yes, needs chip timing!
In full: Chip timing would be nice. But if runners stood next to the correct timing board there wouldn't be such a problem. Took me 9.30 to do the first mile was aiming at sub 7 so blew any chance of a PB. At the end of first mile i passed a pirate in full fancy dress carrying a bucket! What the hell are you doing starting at the front? My other main gripe was the marshall smoking at mile 11 could do without a lungfull of cancerous smoke when i already feel like dieing! Still enjoy the race great course and blessed with great weather!

In short: Once again a fab event
In full: Great day once again, very freindly runners, spectators and marshallers back again every year. Only bad points were a bit pricey at £22 and T-shirt lacked imagination this year.
Also why always on clock change day now so we lose an hours sleep.
Cant wait till next year.

In short: Excellent club race
In full: This is a serious club race and it is easy to get carried along and pay for it in the second half as I did, but made it my fastest half this year, although disappointing it is not chip timed. Other than that, brilliant race!

In short: My first half and I loved it!
In full: My only gripe is the time it took to cross the start. My finish time was 5 mins over my GPS time which is pretty frustrating. Other than that I had a great run and will definitely be back next year.

In short: great day out loved it
In full: I can understand what everyone is saying about the chip timing I trained hard for this run like the other 3,500 probably did and to have your time slashed by 3 mins is a bit upsetting all in all though I enjoyed the experience and will definetley be back next year and finally would just like to say a big thank you to all the marshalls who did an excellent job WELL DONE WILMSLOW
