In short: Bostin!
In full: Best organisation I've ever encountered. Marshalls were superb, very supportive. Only gripe is one stopped me going into the pub at 18 miles and made me carry on running!
Brilliant day.

In short: Boring and best avoided
In full: Has gone downhill since the course was changed in 2009. Sampling the "delights" of Penderford on cycle paths isn't my idea of a good event. Atmosphere was non existent in parts. I should have done Kenilworth instead.
T-Shirt is below average and medal is cheap and nasty.

In short: Good race, but didn't live up to "the hype" for me. The Start area was very poor and the goody bag very average.. The Marshalls were excellent, the best I have ever encountered.

In short: Good event on a nice course. Lacks atmosphere for majority of course and need far more toilets at the start
In full: First time I've run the event. I would compare it to Wolverhampton Half / Marathon and Leicester comes out far superior. Course is excellent. The parks are used very well and the first and last miles utilised the City Centre, unfortunately there weren't many folk around to notice. Marshalls are very supportive and that last mile is "naughty" but excellent.
The Minus'. There is a need for far more loos at the start. The queue for an event of this size were excessive. Medal - OK but bland, no mention of year or being 10.10.10.
