2004 Stroud Half-Marathon

In short: A quickish course with a couple of stings in its tale.
In full: The start was shambolic and could have been dangerous. Well organised thereafter with mostly closed roads, although running alongside the traffic on A38 and again near the end wasn't that pleasant. A T-Shirt rather than medal was disappointing and some of the water at stations was of dubious quality. Was very competitive near the front for a race of 2000.

In short: New 12KM distance retained all the essence and challenges of the 9 mile race with the benefit of improved and safer start and finish. Well organised, great weather, nice race to start the year with. Got coaster to go with last year's mug!

In short: Need to sort out bottleneck at the start, has potential to be a very quick course. A long walk from car park to start of race.

In short: Marred by fiasco at the start delayed by over half an hour. Still one of my fave races for the atmosphere though. Will be interesting to see how Sweatshop take on race with new start place.

In short: Biased as I am a huge motorsport fan!! It feel fantastic hugging the same curb at Copse or Maggots that Schumacher or Montoya had used days earlier! The race is good as well. Very quick.

In short: Outside of FLM the best organised race I have ever been to. Superb use of space at start - a challenging interesting course with good crows support. Would consider doing the marathon having done the half.

In short: Worth it for running around Mallory Park alone. One of my favourite races for the unobstrusive organisation and challenging fun course. Deserves to become a much bigger event.
