In short: When you run to the drums in the tunnel - You'll be back. In full: Great event. As the first time running of the event it was brilliant. Crowds were found all along the route - even for us very slow runners. When I crossed the finish line I always thought I would think never again but have to admit I want to go back and do it again. The one line summary will mean a special something to everyone who ran the race this year and next year it could and should be you. Date of review: October 25, 2011

In short: No surprise entries close so quick In full: Finally managed to run this race after having to pull out the last 2 years to to illness. It was well worth the wait and will back next year. Hopefully next time I'll spot the 10 mile marker, this year it was head down and plod up the hill. Date of review: January 25, 2011

In short: Second time and it gets better In full: Second time I've run this one and it just gets better. All levels catered for on a not too hard course. Whats more where else can you get a cup of tea and a hot cross bun at the end,for free, then a nice XL T-shirt (when your my size thats important) and then a bus right back to the start.
All this for £10 - entry on the day. runliverpool look and learn. Date of review: March 23, 2008

In short: Late but worth the wait. In full: Must say I was a little worried about the organisation but in the end it went like clockwork. Mr Rothwell give yourself a pat on the back.
Only minor crit was only 10 Loo's for just short of 1800 is a little low.
Great just to run through the tunnel and the last 2 miles along the front are very nice indeed. Date of review: September 10, 2006

In short: At least it wasn't another T-Shirt In full: It's one of my fav races and the towel is a nice touch instead of a t-shirt that doesn't fix. Date of review: August 24, 2006

2006 Penny Lane Striders 10K
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Super smashing great. In full: This is a great race and suits all levels. If there is one tiny niggle its the distance markers. It might be me but some k's seem longer than others. To the fast boys it might not make much difference but to us plodders split's that differ by 1 minute can be a bit disheartening.
Then again I don't have to measure out the distances, organise T-shirts, drinks etc so if thats all I can complain about it tells you just how GOOD this one is. Date of review: June 26, 2006

2006 Mizuno Liverpool Half-Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Even if you don't get a PB its a race worth doing. Organisation was better than last time In full: Even if you don't get a PB its a race worth doing. Organisation was better than last time and its so cheap. People had gripes about the shuttles getting back into town but given that half of it seems to be dug up and the other half closed (for the race) I've got no complaints.
Will be back next year - this time I will get a PB Date of review: March 20, 2006

2005 Birchwood 10K
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: At least it wasn't another T-Shirt In full: I'll agree that the organisation at the end of the race was a little lacking but I suspect that was down to the size of the field.
Will definatly be back next year - this time with a little more training under my shoes. Date of review: August 22, 2005

In short: First five mile race. Could be my distance. In full: My first five mile race would have liked it better if the rushed lucozade didn't take its revenge at 3.5 miles.
Will be back to set a new PB next year. I should be able to hop faster than this time. Date of review: July 22, 2005
