2011 Paddock Wood Half Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: an excellent race if you don't like hills!
In full: No major gripes from me but one thing that must be sorted for next year is the queue for water at the finish. Personally I would rather not have a cheap medal or a goody bag and settle for water and fruit as soon as you cross the finish line.
Other than that I thought it was a lovely race and well marshalled as usual, I have nothing but respect for people who give up their time to stand on a road in a bib for 3 hours. The sponges were a lovely touch and much needed for us mere mortals who find running for 2 hours really tough. I'll be back next year :)

In short: lovely route and a real test for most runners
In full: A really nice undulating route with outstanding organisation. Without doubt the best goodie bag I have ever received too. Not the ideal half if you want a PB but then it's rather nice not to think about all that and just enjoy running. Definitely doing it again.

| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: a really good friendly atmosphere and an excellent race for first timers like me!
In full: This was my first ever race and I can only hope that most races are as friendly and well organised as this. The terrain was more undulating than I expected but this only served to make it more of a challenge and the stewards were very encouraging all the way around. I will definitely be back next year.
