2010 EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 20% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 20% | | Organisation | | 20% | | Value | | 20% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 20% |
In short: I would not be possible to comment with out using foul language
In full: This has to be the worst race of my life, the start had not a single marshal - no gate entrances - no control at all.
Crossed the start line that is the width of the main road than then goes to half the width - utter madness!!!
The race itself was ok - nothing to right home about - what was a shock was no in race time mats so no chance of being able show the pb time during the race.
Now for the finish - I hit the back of the pack at 2:08 and got a final finishing time from the event of 2:20 - totally ridiculous.
After talking to the race people today they say they think a few MINOR problems could of happened but no refunds of change of official times will be permitted.
Never ever again!!!

In short: When will they learn from the error's of last year and the year before...
In full: Not able to finish because of the number of people at the finish line de-chipping...get this right - it's not hard

2008 Everards Leicester Marathon

In short: Good day - not sure about the distance...
In full: This was a very good race for me - I hit a PB but my distance worked out the half marathon to be 13.29 and not 13.1.
Other runs that I have do have been clocked spot on so not sure about this race but if the distance was 13.29 I smashed my time so even better than I thought.
Roll on next year.
