In short: This is my fourth year
In full: I have been critical over the few years i ve done this race collecting numbers with the big queues,medals same as the year before with no dates on them ect,but this year there was no problem collecting numbers,Ok the walk to fetch the number and chip this year was a decent warm up to begin with ,but i decided along with my wife to strip off at the car luckly.
The problem with putting the start well away from everthing is nobody even knows there a race on and as such there was very little support.
Even my family had trouble finding it.that said i enjoyed the new course and will do it again next year and thankyou to all the marshalls











shouted encouragement

In short: NICE HALF MARATHON
In full: I m from Sheffield which is built on 7 hills,but the one at 6 miles and the killer hill at 10 take some beating.But saying that the rest of the run was fine and the weather very warm for this time of year.i m training for manachester marathan at the end of april so it was a good run to do at this stage.The organization and marshalls were fantastic and the t-shirt and goody bag were great,and the bonus bottle of beer as a spot price nice.

In short: Great race
In full: It was my second worksop half and i really enjoyed it until the last 2 miles of which my legs gave up,but that was down to lack of training due to a calf injury.The organization was fantastic as usual,the marshalls were great shouting encouragement as you passed,and the t-shirt was a nice touch being technical with good art work.Thanks and see you next year

In short: This was my fourth time in a row!
In full: As usual the organistion was fantastic,water and energy drinks all around.I set a pb for this race and welcomed the rain in the last part of the race after the sun and heat in the middle part.This is probably my faverite race behind the london marathon,but the price is very steep.If i get in a will do it again next year thanks to all the supporters in the north east who allways come out rain or shine with oranges ,ice pops,sweets,water,ect

In short: What a mess!
In full: Getting your race number and chip was a farse,this was my third time i'd done this race and things seemed to be getting better year on year.But this year there just wasn t enough people giving the numbers out for amount of people competing.Post the numbers out and avoid all the problems.
I have no problems with the marshalls and the rest of the staff,and i would like to thank them for the shouting of encouragement at times round the course.
My last moan is the medal its the same as last year no date,its the same in every way they must have bought in bulk.It was the same with the t~shirts when they used them same for two years.I know things are tight at the moment but not getting a bottle of water at the end ?
But saying all this i love clumber and will do it again but please sort it out,put the price up a little if need be!

In short: Great Half Marathon
In full: It was the third year i ve done this half marathon and i ve enjoyed every one.The course was slightly different this year taking the muddy and very slippery 2 or 3 miles out from last year.The new bit was a little muddy but nowhere near as bad.The Marshalls were fantastic again and the t-shirt and goody bag for the money we paid was excellent.

In short: ENJOYED MY THIRD YEAR
In full: This was my third year and the organization gets better and better.But its getting very busy,i was in orange D pen and it was very full where i was.In the race i got stuck behind people and was boxed in so many times.I put a time in i knew i could achive,(not like a lot of people, who like many have mentioned walked after a few miles.)Having said that i don t really come here for a PB,i love the red arrows flying over you and the support was fantastic given the weather at times.The marshalls who give there time up were fantastic also.The goody bag this year was very good with lots of content.

In short: VERY VERY HOT
In full: It was a lot harder then i thought it was going to be,and the heat was terrible.At this time of year you have to expect the sun to shine,but with no shade for long periods it takes it toll.The T-SHIRT was great one you can run in and not get run over,the marshalls were all great "thankyou for the all of the support" and i may see you next year if i can forget those nasty inclines
