In short: Boring course, but fantastic organsiation.
In full: I was told that this was a PB couse so was surprised to find so many hills, albeit small ones! The stretch of route round the business park was very depressing... Can't fault the organisation, marshalls and support though.

2011 Bradley Stoke 10K
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Fabulous organisation
In full: The weather couldn't have been much worse, but that didn't dampen the spirits of the excellent marshalls. The convoluted route meant that there were marshalls everywhere, I was impressed that they were all smiling and some were even clapping whilst holding a brolly! The wet weather meant that it was a little slippy under foot, but warnings of upcoming conditions were plentiful. Thank you to everyone who got soaked this morning so that we could run.

In short: Hard but rewarding race & fantastic organisation
In full: Couldn't fault the race organisation - the marshalls were fantastic & the jelly babies really welcome. The 'undulating' nature of the course helped the miles slip by!

2009 Stroud Half-Marathon
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Only six loos
In full: Luckily I was tipped off about the queue which took half an hour to get through & timed it perfectly, but what about the hundreds behind me? Why is it that drivers in Stroud are unable to switch off their engines when they are stationary? Apart from that, an ok race, I didn't enjoy the single file sections, especially as there were a lot of walkers to get past.

2008 Chippenham Harriers 25th Anniversary Half-Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Fantastic organisation & really friendly
In full: I can't say anything bad about this race - it ran like clockwork. The marshalls & supporters on route were efficient & friendly. The children on top of the car at about 5 miles win the prize for the noisiest supporters ever. Anyone doing Bristol today made the wrong choice. Please do another one!
