2010 Experian Robin Hood Marathon

In short: Well organised, good atmosphere.
In full: My first go at this, my home town half marathon. Superb organisation and a good atmosphere led to an enjoyable pre race. I did find this tough, I need to put more hills into my training for next year! The long climb on the University campus was the worst for me.
I thought the finish was great - the crowds were excellent and the organisation getting through the end was top rate.
My GPS told me this was a very long half, maybe it's just mine but it has usually been pretty accurate.
Overall, very glad I ran, will be back next year.

2010 Belvoir Half-Marathon

In short: Excellent course for a beginner.
In full: I would say this is a perfect race for a beginner (like me, my second half) because the course has no major hills, just gentle ups and downs. Lovely countryside though picturesque villages with a most enjoyable bacon butty at the end. I thought the organisation was very good, ok a little delay, but no major problems. Will be back!

In short: What a great day. Fantastically well organised, helped by perfect weather.
In full: This being my first half I could not have wanted for anything more. Easy to park, great organisation, friendly people, encouraging marshalling and an excellent goody bag at the end.
Found the hills very tough, especially the second! Loved the stadium finish. Thanks to all concerned at Grantham AC.
