2009 Wycombe Half Marathon

In short: Good 10K race.
In full: I've done the half marathon a few times so decided to opt for the 10K this time as I hadn't trained enough for the big one! Definately not a PB course but the gooody bag, medal and t-shirt at the end were good. My only concern was the start. Putting all the runners (half marathon and 10K'ers)together at the start mean't there were a lot of differing paces off the line and it was hard to get up to speed from the gun with slower runners in front.

In short: Those hills don't get any easier!
In full: I swear that hill at the start gets steeper every year! Great support and well organised. Plenty of parking space and a great goody bag (apple, orange, water, mars bar, sweets, alarm clock!) + a good medal and a t-shirt. Good value.

In short: Quick course - quite a nice route - race day organised well but the results were missing some finishers and the photographer didn't turn up!
In full: Great race, marshalling and support. Nice touches with the massage tent etc, but a friend of mine who has never run a race before and thought he would start with this one, was not included on the results and won't have a momento of a photo for the day because the official photographer didn't show. A real shame for him and any others who wanted a record of the day! Me, I got a PB so I'm alright Jack!

In short: Tough course but great local support
In full: The route was undulating but pleasant, and the support from everyone was great. Prices on the Runners World Site were wrong. It was £2 more than stated and the closing date was wrong too. Something for the organisers to look at. Apart from that it was a very good race.

In short: Nice, friendly race and atmosphere. Course has a couple of hills in 1st half then flat till the end.
In full: Organisation was very good and course was attractive too. Hills at 2 at 4km are enough to dash PB's! Really good support all the way round the course. Thanks!

In short: Fast flat course but watch out for the weather!
In full: Definate PB potential but the weather has a bearing on that! I was 1.15 up on my best time after 5 miles then turned into a very strong wind. PB gone. Well organised and friendly atmosphere and very good value for money. (£9 unaffiliated). A selection of cakes and tea at the end was a nice touch. I'll be back next year.
