In short: Great race
In full: This is my fifth Chester half marathon and it gets better year on year. Very well organised start to the race, and so many portaloos!! Brilliant! Can the organisers of the Liverpool Half Marathon please take note of this. If there are thousands of runners you need more than the poxy amount of portaloos provided at the last Liverpool Half Marathon. I still prefer the old course, again i found myself getting a little bit bored on 8 miles or so. The hill at the end is a bit of a killer, but absolutely fantastic support! Thank you to the organisers and marshalls and also to all the people handing out drinks. Once again the men with the jelly beans in Blacon was a welcome sight! Great race and a great day. Thanks.

In short: An interesting race
In full: This is the first year for this race and as would be expected there were a few teething problems. Not completely convinced by having to take an elastic band to prove you have run part of the route! There seemed to be no 5 mile marker, unless i missed it! The atmosphere was good, although not a huge turn out for a City run, i suppose it is cruel to compare to Chester or Liverpool. There was no medal at the end which was promised on the runners world information. The t-shirt is ok, but not brilliant for the £19 entry!Saying that the course was fine, and was a lot more hilly than i was expecting. Not too sure about running part of the same route twice, could the course be changed a little for next year? Having said all that, i can see this race becoming more popular year on year, 313 runners for the first race is not bad at all. I will be back next year!
