In short: Excellent pre-marathon race
In full: Really enjoyed this one. It was nice to meet other people in training for the same marathon (Manchester). The organisation was excellent and what a bonus not having to queue for the toilets. IF (and I do meant IF) I ever do any another spring marathon I would definitely use this a prep again, despite the steep entry fee.

In short: Whoops !
In full: Wow a PB and all those hills - no wait actually it was 1k short - whoops. Good job the medals didn't have 10k on them otherwise we would all be cheats!
Shame really as it was a great morning and well organised (other than the obvious mistake!)

In short: Too many runners this time!
In full: Although I managed a PB which I was chuffed with I felt there were just too many runners, a lot of the time I had to weave in and out of people, which got annoying, particularly towards the end of the course.

In short: very hilly, not great for beginners and no medals :-(
In full: This was my second half marathon, my first being Leeds. I had expected a lot more runners. I am not an elite athlete, I am a plodder. I plodded my way round, and at times I felt very alone and lonely, with not another runner in sight. The support from the locals was great though, and a nice boost at the top of the hills, and hills and more hills! It was a good achievement but I'm not sure I will bother again next year.
