2009 Blackpool Fylde Coast Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Fab Race - nothing to complain about regarding the HM
In full: This race sums up Blackpool - sea, hotels, promenade, rollercoasters, arcades and holiday makers with hangovers. What do people expect wild deer and woods!!! I hope this is not the last race it far outstrips the Great North West HM

2009 Bath Half-Marathon

In short: Far too many runners
In full: An annoying delay at the start particularly as it starts later than other HMs
Far too many runners, I give up after 3 miles when I realised I was running sideways as much as forwards to get round slower runners. It also didn't when you couldn't get into the correctly timed starting pen at the beginning.
The crowd and support were fantastic, but dampened by the long queue over half an hour to collect the goody bag with yet another Large T-shirt to go directly into the charity bag as I'm size small.

In short: Would be a good race without trying to get around slow runners
In full: Badly organised start - couldn't get into my penn and ended up behind slower runners - found it hard jumping on and off the pavemment to get round them - and I'm no elitist runner.
