2011 Great North West Half-Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Well organised and provides a good challenge if the wind blows
In full: To me this is a good solid event. The HQ was good and I even managed to have a pre-race massage. The organisation was good and there was plenty of water stations.
The course isn't very exciting but it is very flat. The course reminds me of links golf, if it is still you will blow it away, if it is windy you will be blown away.
Personally, I dislike goody bags, t-shirts and medals for this type of race. Keep them for the big events and keep these smaller races at a reasonable price.

| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 100% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Great way to start the year
In full: This is a flat course (only climbs are over the motorway bridges) and if the weather is kind I would say you have every chance of a fast time.
The organisation is great, with plenty of parking, massages and very inexpensive food and drink. £1.50 for a bacon bap and coffee. Would defo do this again.

In full: Big field to park in, toilets to do the business, good course, medal, choc bar, water, chance to get a butty and a brew. Not sure what more people could want but seemed like a good event to me.
