2010 Bath Half-Marathon
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: 2 mins off PB, what's all the fuss about!?!
In full: 3rd time running in Bath, think that the organisation has got slightly better each time - so can't wait for 2020!
Always going to be crowded at start/finish, not sure this should be a surprise to anyone - we do want a race that starts and finishes in the city centre after all.
Crowds noticably larger this year, could still do with 'loosening up' a little though I think.

In short: Cracking!
In full: Great organisation (in contrast to Bath 2 weeks ago!), good atmosphere and 2 mins off my PB.
Wish I could think of something to complain about but struggling - well worth my weekend in Reading

2008 EDF Energy Birmingham Half-Marathon

In short: A few lessons to be learnt, will be back next year to see what's done!!!
In full: Plenty of small gripes - nothing to do at the stadium and no shelter from the elements, didn't manage to hear any announcements, was unable to access the red zone as I couldn't bypass the crowds and the finish area was a bit chaotic.
Plus points - shuttle buses from City Centre in the morning a great help, good crowd support along the course (should only get better) and overall proud that Birmingham now has a 1/2 Marathon in place.
