2011 Mull of Kintyre 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: Better than 2010 . . . .
In full: Cracking half marathon. Gets full 100% for scenery for me! Well organised quick start no hanging around, supportive, enthusiastic marshalls whole way round. Personal mention by commentator as you cross the finish line. An excellent goody bag (enjoying the coffee out of my MOK 2011 insulated mug) and good sandwich and Danish (t-shirt also better this year). The Ceilidh was a belter as well (from what I can remember). Only tiny negative loved the piper on the beach last year although he/she may have been blown away this year! P.S. Great curry in the Taj Mahal post race and cracking full Scottish Breakfast in The Bluebell Cafe the morning after!

In full: First half so guaranteed a PB anyway. But what a day !! From the enthusiastic guy at the start, to the amazing spectators - never has an ice-pop tasted so good! Enjoyed the showers along the way and the boost zone. Free massage was good as well. Not really bothered about the goody bag cos had such a good day!
