In short: Nice, scenic route with good mix of surfaces - really enjoyable!
In full: A beautiful day for my first Lancaster half-marathon. Really enjoyed route with some lovely views of the river and surrounding countryside. More trail sections than I had anticipated, some of which were a bit muddy but managed fine in road shoes and this added to my enjoyment of the race! Nice "local" feel to race with sensible number of runners for type of route. Well marshalled and friendly support from smallish number of spectators. Track finish was fun and I thought the medal was better than most (Mars bar was welcome too!). Only negatives were the slightly chaotic organisation prior to the start, poor signs to direct you from the car park (the one across the road from the supermarket) to the race HQ/start, and the long toilet queues. What a co-incidence that ALL the toilets in Asda were "out of order" on race day (not the fault of the race organisers I am sure)!!
