In short: Running in Conwy/ LLandudno make it special .
In full: As I said , beautiful place to run . Conquering the Great Orme is such an achievement .
On the downside , and I have done all 3 races so far , some things need sorting out if this race is ever going to expand .
The first few miles running on a coastal path is far too congested . Need to get it on proper roads or set people off in waves . No one ever takes notice of time markers at start . Also finish is just a shambles , with spectators getting in runners way . And the toilet facilities were useless . No sign of changing facilities either .
Still a great race though but could be better .

In short: A bit disappointing
In full: Had high expectations but it didn't live up to them . Know there was a lot of hard work put into the race so dont want to critisise . It was an average run , no more . Spectators and athletes found it difficult to get around the racecourse and the finish area was poor . Just not enough going on to make it an enjoyable day . Half marathon organised much better . Sorry !

2010 Conwy Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Great race in a lovely setting but.....
In full: Not much learned from last year . Promised signs for different finishing times i.e. faster runners at front . Not delivered . Coastal path very congested , suprised no one was tripped and subsequently trampled on . T shirt palava very poor . To have the finishing last few hundred yards on a pavement , with pedestrians on it is diabolical . Possibility of getting stuck behind a walker or running headlong into a pram . Very dangerous ! Sorry to critisise all hard work people have put in , hope you see it as constructive because it is a GREAT race , thanks .

In short: Thanks to everyone who got this race on . Bad weather made it a question of survival . Would like to do it on a dry day , though it did keep me cool . Not best race ever but its only in its second year , hope they can get the chance to improve it .

In short: well organised . certainly a fast race . Got a bit congested early on but most runners experienced enough to find correct starting position . Not much scope for an increase in numbers though . Thanks orange vests ; )

In short: Enjoyable race
In full: Just a short train ride for me from the Wirral so no hassle with driving thro' Liverpool and parking . Course is challenging in parts but interesting . Organised well , thanks . Hoped for a better time but have the strong winds as an excuse . See you next year .

In short: Undoubtably one of the best races in the country
In full: Found it hard out there today despite being perfect conditions . Course is unforgiving if you are not 100% fit and the poor weather for the last 2 weeks didn't help . About 2 minutes down on last years time but what the hell .
