In short: Enjoyable run over the Humber
In full: Quite a pleasant, and scenic run considering its a road race, a couple of hills worst one was at the 9 mile mark, but all in all fairly flat.
Well organised, good marshalls
Nice medal, shame theirs no date on it makes you think they were left over from last year.
Nice t-shirts, considering i finished in 1:39 i was surprised they run out of XL`s

In short: Excellent, Quick Scenic Race
In full: A very enjoyable race, excellent views to take your mind off things, very quick course, can deffinately pick up a couple of mins on those down hill sections( if you`ve any strength left in your legs ).Perfect weather, apart from the downpour just before the start, Great marshalls and plenty of water stops, Good Goody Bag, Just a shame a good quality medal couldn`t of been supplied as im sure people would pay a little bit more !

In short: Average Inner City Half Marathon
In full: A well organised race, mildly challenging, shame no sports drinks on route and could do with a drink and snack in goody bag at finish.
But at least the medal was an improvement on the previous year

In short: Quite Pleasant, Tough Race
In full: Hills, Hills, Hills,
Quite enjoyed this race, Hard steady hill at begining lasted about 4 miles, But a the top some wonderful views of the surrounding area, Then a couple of miles steeply down hill before another steep hill at about the 7 mile point, Each hill well worth doing for the views at the top, Then couple of flatish miles before another long steedy hill. finally just as your getting to the 12 1/2 mile point and thinking its nearly all over a hellish last half mile hill just to finish you off.
Personnally not PB material, but i thoughly enjoyed the race and recommend it, but not for the faint hearted

In short: Well Organised, Enjoyable race
In full: Enjoyed this Race, nice scenic course, well supported, good drinks stations, Excellent t-shirt and Crystal Memento. Only Moan this race needs chip timing and possibly coloured numbers to encourage slower runners to start in there proper start zones as there were a lot of very slow runners startingnear the front
