2009 Royal Parks Foundation Half-Marathon

In short: Great race, pretty much completely flat, weather conditions were perfect, lovely course and great PB potential, only con is the number of people - or the fact that too many people !
In full: Brilliant race, my fav half so far (only done 3 though!). Weather conditions are perfect-cool but not too cold, fairly bright and no wind. Thought this race has great PB potential as pretty much flat, just a few slopes here and there but nothing to trouble a regular runner. Great atmosphere and even when there aren't lots of supporters around, the scenery is great and distracting. Only downside is the number of people, I do prefer smaller races, but then the amazing organisation comes with the bigger races I suppose. The one downside was people going to slow at the start - saw this on another review, people walking in the first mile or getting annoyed when you overtake them. Try and stick to a realistic time pen! Over than that great great race, and enjoyed the millions of free Boost bars! Will definitely be back next year!
