In short: Flat scenic half marathon but ran out of water at three water stations
In full: I did the half marathon, normally I would have targeted a PB as it's a great, fairly flat course, but I had a bit of an off day. The race is very friendly with a nice atmosphere but it was a disgrace that the final three water stations had all run out of water - not good at all and it's just as well the hot weather didn't last for the whole race or people would have been really struggling.

In short: Beginner friendly race that never starts on time
In full: It's a nice loop round Hazlehead park, perfect for beginners wanting to try their first 5K as it attracts a lot of first-timers.
For the third year in a row, the race was delayed by at least 15 minutes due to registration queues.
