2007 Wilmslow Half Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Loved those balloons!
In full: A very enjoyable race, lots of spectators and well run. The only minor downside was the start with way to many slower runners near the front. I stood just in front of the 1hr 30mins sign (as i generally finish under that time), why can't people just be a little more honest?
Top race all the same though!

In full: A clock at the finish would have been nice and the warm weather meant water was a bit sparse but otherwise a nice event.

However the fun atmosphere easily made up for any monor problems.

However there did seem less participants and a litle less oomph than last year about the whole thing?

In short: Shame about the timing.
In full: Messy start (grading?), chip timing over 30 secs out and course felt a little long to me.
However very friendly, well marshalled, good parking and lots of support meant it was still a nice morning.

2006 Chester Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Nice but wet
In full: The start was a bit of a mess and i spent the first 3 miles navigating past slower runners who were more optomistic about finishing times than me.
Marsahlls cheery though especially the young girl near the garden centre, she cheered everyone up.
I last did this race when it went through the city centre and the crowds were far larger.
