Just out of interest Alan, why didnt the new start and finish materialise for this years race as hoped?

Really enjoyed the run but has anyone had problems with the official time. Mine says DNF I'm really hoping is just a glitch as I ran for charity and was relying on the official time. I know I came over at 1:43 but was hoping to shave 4 minutes off from the delay getting over the start line

1.32 for me today First race since May2010 due to injury so more than happy. Loved the course. Last time I did it it started and finished in the park. This was much better. Liked hitting parliament Hillnearly on too. Great weather. Well done and thanks to Alan and the team for a well organised event at least so far as I was concerned.

LOVE the T shirt and weather was great.

Collection of T shirt much better than last year & did not miss the goody bag, I have already decided the tech T will be worn as my main training top.

Only minor niggle is the arrangements at the start - notices with anticipated finish times would seperate out diferent paced runners and ease congestion also speaker by the tax building would help others know what was happening (think Chris was giving loads of encouragement but to be honest could not hear what was going on - in fact had no idea the race had started). These are MINOR points - the race was brill and will be doing it again.

second Liverpool half & I manged to cut nearly 20 min off last year (training does make a differencce it would appear!)

WELL DONE

link to photos is on Run Liverpool web site - not up yet tho.

Thanks for a brilliant race - must be my favourite 1/2 marathon by a long shot - knocked 13 mins of last years time and 6 mins of my 1/2 marathon PB.

Really really enjoyed it - excellent course - and great support.

There weren't goody bags I think.
Quality tee and medal were far better than the goody bags you normally get at races.

An excellent event. Well organised, good support all the way round. Better quality t-shirt than last year and cool design too.
Thanks to all concerned.

As far as I was aware there was no goody bag. Certainly didnt see anyone handing any out.

I had a great day. After a really disappointing Marathon in October due to illness, everything came together today so I banished the ghost of October 2011.

Great day, even if I did struggle a little on the 3 mile finishing straight!

Bit of a bottleneck prior to start, but with those numbers only to be expected.

Did also wonder whether having expected time markers before the start to try and get similar runners together would help. Must be frustrating for quick runners having to pick a way through slower runners who went off early and also puts pressure on slower runners to perhaps run faster than they should. Just a thought!

Fabulously organised as usual. Only thing I could say needed improvement was the parking on the dock, only seemed to have one pay station open so was massive queue. But despite this really enjoyed the race (third time of competing and will be signing up for fourth)Oh T shirt superb!!

Love this race. Good organisation, lovely course. I agree that it was quite congested in places but time markers at the start are rarely adhered to in my experience. This race is quite rightly growing in popularity so bigger crowds are to be expected. Really enjoyed my run, no PB but need to put the training in for that I suppose!
