2011 Lancaster & Morecambe Race Series Lancaster Half Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Decent enough race with a track finish.
In full: Flat half marathon except for 1 maybe 2 slight inclines approximately halfway but nothing too serious. Ran mainly on country paths/lanes so main hazards are cyclists and dog walkers. Traffic getting to the event once in Lancaster was a nightmare although I think numbers were well up from last year. With perfect conditions and the flat course I helped myself to a pb of 1hr 20mins. Would definitely recommend and will probably return.

In full: Once again a fantastic event made even better by the new outstanding course, loved every minute of it. great en route support, friendly marshals, excellent organisation and I personally don't think it was that hilly. Will definitely be back next year for another crack.

2006 Muckletoon Doctors Run 8

In short: Decent enough race, recommended
In full: Tough start, first 2 miles are uphill, but not too bad after that, everyone was friendly enough and I would recommend this race to people consider doing it. Just watch your footing on the descent of 1 of the hills, large rocks everywhere! Nice momento AND medal, cup of tea/coffee, soup, roll and cake at the finish. Boiling hot showers aswell!
