In short: Great weather, great marshalls - pre-race organisation not so
In full: Had to find a friend to drive me the 7 miles to pick up my number at the other side of the city as picking up on the day only for out of towners by arrangement. Voucher £10 off decathlon only the one in Coventry and only for 2 weeks. How do I get up there again and how does my friend from Sheffield get to use hers? Price steep to include the T-shirt and would have preferred to have the choice to have one or note. Other local half at Kenilworth is really well organised by volunteers, much cheaper and still get technical T! Hilly and undulating for about half the race so get some practice in before hand. Not so good if you are a slow runner as didn't appear to be very many finishers after 2hrs30.
Having said that the marshals were all great and encouraging and the weather was perfect. Thank you to all of them!!

In short: Great as always - Really supportive marshals
In full: As always a great half marathon with several hills taking in the Warwickshire countryside. Good support and lovely marshals. Weather nigh on perfect this year! Thanks to all at Kenilworth Runners for their excellent organisation. The Technical Long Sleeve T-shirt is fab too!

In short: Shuttle buses badly organised - not enough toilets and no time differentiated start - Execllent finish atmosphere
In full: Would do this again if organisation is improved. Queueing in the rain at 8am in city centre no fun especially as coaches failed to turn up for ages. Having been told the baggage lorries would leave from start at 8.30am we had to leave everything in the car. Toilets were too few at the start. The start was delayed for half an hour which was not much fun in the cold. Also no time differentiated start meant that we could not get past people at the beginning. Cross the start line at 5 minutes! However, course was good and support from both marshalls and locals excellent especially towards the finish. Would do it again next year.
