2010 Run to the Beat Half-Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 20% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 20% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Poorly organised, expensive, mostly uninspiring event
In full: There was no need to delay the start of the race, we have timimg chips and there were plenty of people who had managed to get there on time. It was VERY cold on the Greenwich peninsular. I didn't cross the starting line until 11.10 am, well after the scheduled start.
The route was average, the music over amplified and distorted and the atmosphere flat.
The finish was chaotic, long queues for baggage, and no cereal bars left at the end.
I will not be back!

In short: Liked the alps but too much traffic
In full: I enjoyed running the laps, a good way to break up 20 miles. However I didn't like running along rough country lanes with traffic only inches away.

In short: Wonderful atmospere, scenery and organisation but very congested
In full: A great event but a disappointing race.
As an event this was superb, great scenery, I loved running round the Cutty Sark and over Tower Bridge, and wonderfully organised.
As a race was a little disappointed. It was very congested for a very long time. I found it difficult to run at my own pace. I was pushed and shoved far more than I ever have been in any other race.
Do most people over estimate their predicted finish time? Given that we have chip timings would it not be possible to start the runners in waves and ease the congestion?
A few niggles but overall a great event.
