Really hoosie? That would be absolutely great!!! Its a really nice race, very friendly and the funrun and wheelchair thing before the half make it super accessible. Can't praise it enough really. Bit of a long way to go but definitely worth it.

Is it flat?

i entered it a few weeks ago so i'll hopefully have a nice low number this year

i should beat my time of 2:18 from last year as that was my first ever race, not sure if i'll beat my current PB of 2:05 as i have the Dartmoor Vale Marathon the week after so i'll not be pushing it too hard.

as for is it flat well it is mostly flat with a few points of climbs which you also have to go down so they kind of cancel each other out ;)

i would say the climb back up out of rickerby park at the end is probably the worst spot and its not that long

I'm hoping to be on the first line of the t-shirt Keith!

Yes, that climb back up at the end is a bit of a swine come to think of it, but as you say, not that long.

Get in, its back on the forum thread.

Aye im in again,4th time for me.Cracking half marathon,gets better each year.There were quite a few of us who met up before last years run.
There was a lad called 'Millsy' who organised the meeting point last year.Hopefully he'll be back again and do the honours.

I remember Millsy - never actually met him though. Yeah, we should all meet up beforehand, that would be great.

Was your thread last year Mick, beat you to it!

9 min mile is still canny.

I can't run a 9 minute mile Hoose, especially not over half marathon distance! So you'll definitely be in front of me.

I did achieve my goal of a sub-28 minute 5k yesterday though, so go me!

Raced yesterday 15k in 1:22 I was really pleased with that so hopefully a good time for this race with more training.
