In short: Well done Coventry - another fantastic Half Mara
In full: I think this is a really well organised race - I love it more each year - thought the hills had got bigger though! One thing I would have liked is a turkey in my goody bag to go with the cranberry sauce from the Birmingham Half a couple of weeks ago!!!!

In short: Fantastic Half Marathon
In full: Really enjoyed this. It beats some other big city marathons hands down for organisation which was faultless. There were loads of marshalls and lots of support all around the course. I don't know Coventry very well and I was really impressed with how leafy it is with the tree lined roads and the course going through several parks. Quite hilly in places and a real pleasure to run.

In short: Wet 'n Fast
In full: Great race - very well organised as usual. Even the rain didn't put the marshalls off. I prefer this race to any of the bigger half maras.

2008 Carver Wolverhampton City Marathon
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: I agree with other comments about the confused start.
In full: I agree with other comments about the confused start. I didn't even hear a hooter and the first mile was very cramped running around the paths in the park.
Compared to previous years I don't know what's gone wrong because I've always considered this to be a really well organised event. We even had to queue for 30 mins to get into the car park this year (and we arrived at about the same time) - I don't mind paying to park but maybe more than one entrance gate would move traffic along quicker.

In short: Fantastic Crowds and Well Organised
In full: This is a fantastic race - it's really well organised and the crowd is amazing with support all the way round the two lap course. It was blisteringly hot today and the hosepipes and water squirters were very welcome!

In short: I love this race and I'll definitely be back again!
In full: Really enjoyed this race again - there were plenty of drinks and I appreciated the energy drinks available as well. The second lap is a bit tough and the supporters tend to fade away but the support at the finish was tremendous. I found the second section of the greenway very difficult especially in the heat but it was so good to see the racecourse and know you're nearly at the end. I love this race and I'll definitely be back again!

In full: Cold, windy, sleety, so verrrry muddy and fantastic fun! Managed to stay vertical but must get some trail shoes. Absolutely love the glass hologram memento - beats the standard t-shirt/medal.

In short: A must-do race for all levels - gorgeous countryside & fab atmosphere
In full: Controversially(!), I thought it was good value for money if you take into account the superb organisation, closed roads at the start, plentiful supplies of bottled water/sponges, portaloos dotted along the route and marshalls everywhere! Love this race - I will be back!
