2005 Blackpool Fylde Coast Marathon

In short: Unfortunate set of circumstances caused major and potentially dangerous problems In full: Ron and his dedicated team had impressed during the run-up to this event but a lengthy start delay in the heat, poor marshalling and hopelessly inadequate water supplies due apparently to theft, meant that their best endeavours were undermined on the day and a 40% drop-out rate showed just how tough this was. It's unlikely for the same things to happen again and the organisers seem keen to learn and listen. So, although I won't be back, it still has the potential to be a great event Date of review: June 22, 2005

2004 Lake Vyrnwy Half Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Third time I've done this and I hope to continue as it's such a good event. In full: As mentioned by others, the revised start/finish arrangement was not good. Unless it was forced on them by Police or Local Authority, they should revert to previous arrangements. However, still a great day out. Date of review: September 21, 2004
