In short: Quite simply a must marathon to do
In full: Last month I ran Wolverhampton marathon which was an absolute shambles with runners going the wrong way as early as 6 miles etc. In the end with all the panic and interruptions in my pace I cramped up in the latter stages and missed out on the sub 2hrs 45 I was aiming for. I entered Chester to redeem myself from that bad race. I made the right choice as the organisation was fantastic. Drinks stations on route were fantastic with choices of water, gels and energy drinks. Toilets were situated on regular points throughout the race. There was so much encouragement from the volunteers cheering your name which was on your number. Bag collection at the end was fantastic with a volunteer giving me my bag as I was walking to the collection point. Talk about service. Course was good. Despite the hills not too many twists and turns making it good pb potential. The scenary on route was excellent. A must do race for beginners and elite. I will definitely be back. Thank you.

In short: special race, i won this in 2004 and 2011
In full: Good challenging course. I first ran this race in 2001 and have been running it for many years. Good organisation and very friendly.

In short: Good race but a little pricey for a 10km.
In full: Decent course and excellent pb potential. One of my all time favourite races. It is becoming a bit more expensive these days.

In short: Rubbish prizes
In full: Decent enough course with good pb potential. Prizes are very disappointing. I win a £15 gift voucher that has to be spent within a month and solely on shoes. Obviously most running shoes in shops cost £50-£75. Plus the short time frame for the voucher means that most people probably don't get chance to spend it particularly if they are not local to Coventry.

In short: Good race
In full: Excellent race, well organised, seems a fast course, pity I was nursing injury as it has good pb potential. Finishers xmas pudding was very large, impressive. Other pudding races I have completed over the years only gave tiny puddings. I will be back next year.
