2013 Brighton Half Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Course measured long and not enough marshalls
In full: As already said the course was long yet again. Inadequate water stations .. miles 3 and 11. Lucazade sport isn`t the same as water . Poor marshalling let spectators all over the start and finish so it was a real struggle to get to the correct place . Toilet facilities hopeless.. loads of people just had to wee on the beach.Plus side was that park and Ride was great .

In full: Lovely run with great organisation and really friendly smiling marshalls. Good crowd support in lots of places around the course . Loads of loos and good `monitors` there to keep the queues moving ! Great value goody bag. The technic T shirt avail of purchase is a real bargin and size friendly for a change .Worth arriving before 9am to get a decent car parking space. Overall really enjoyed the day.

In short: Wonderfl organisation. Gorgous scenery Loved It !
In full: Superb organisation . A great run through beautiful countryside . The lovely fast downhill at end is welcome ++ Good marshalls and friendly supportive crowds.Great cakes at end too ! Pity the overhead flag banner under which you ran at `the end` signified `NEARLY` The Finish (!)as opposed to `The Actual Finish` !So lots of pepole made mistakes and stopped as they went under the banner having done a last min sprint only to find .. Yikes I`m not actually at the finish ! .. But overall a great day and would definately do again .

2010 adidas Silverstone Half-Marathon
| | Overall score | | 20% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 20% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 20% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Boring boring run.Hopeless as a pre BIG EVENT pre London
In full: Brilliant organisation .
Great marshals and friendly runners .
Felt really good BEFORE the race.
Dreadful to run with supporters behind steel wire bars .
Supporters really confined largely to first 1/2 and last 1/2 mile .
No atmosphere at all due to course situation .. race tracks are meant for racing cars not people .
For the first time ever ever in a race I really wished I`d brought my music .
Sunny and windy .. that`s all fun and part of the deal ..
Hopeless Tshirt .. didn`t actually even see an XXL or even an XL runner... ! whose idea was that T shirt or were they the left overs they couldnt sell so they printed Silverstone on .. ?
But the run .. well left me bored to tears .
No I won`t be going back and can`t recommend it at all.

In short: Perfect Day with Perfect Organisation
In full: Great Day . Plentiful loos ! Amazing organisation made for beginners. Very crowded start and for first 1K , crowding thinned out a bit after that but lots of darting in and out due to runners running 5 abreast.. but that`s OK for this sort of run . Not designed for PB. Super day out with girls and great picnic place for after as well . LOVED IT .
