In short: Very good. Recommended to rest of my running club for next year!
In full: This was my first half after being injured in November and am so glad I found this one! The route was a single and lovely lap through countryside, was well supported and the Marshalls were great. The traffic was a bit of a problem and although we'd been warned that the route wasn't traffic free, there were problems over which side of the road to run on at various points. The water stations were efficient in themselves but were on the left. As we were expected to run on the right, there was some chaos as runners crossed to and from water stations. Apart from the bollard, I really liked the run up to the finish. Lots of races spring the finish on you too quickly but this was lined with people and very spacious! Liked my medal too. Will be back next year. Thank you Worcester!

In short: I really enjoyed this race. Everyone was very friendly
In full: I really enjoyed this race. The course was very manageable and I achieved a PB for a half! I thought the Marshalls were fantastic. They encouraged as much as they could along the route and the ones on bikes were an especially good idea. One of them seemed to be 'with me all the way' and felt like a personal support by the end! The atmosphere was great and although there were plenty of runners, it wasn't an overwhelming field. I appreciated the personal touch as I approached the finish when the announcer called out each runner's name as they crossed the line! Will definitely run this one again. Really liked the running T in my bag, though any chance of a medal next year Kenilworth? Thank you
