I was lucky enough to get a place in the Inaugural LLHM (spaces sold out in 20 minutes) and boy, am I glad I did.

Considering this was the first race, you couldn't hardly fault it.  The lead up on social media has been outstanding, really making you want to be part of this race, including a live feed of the race on Facebook.

Excellent race packs (including funky bag for the bag drop, tshirt, race guide & your bib).  

Well organised, plenty of help on directing you to the race start line (although I think the pen colours kind of got a bit mixed up, as I seemed to be in a pen with a lot of different waves, which led to  abit of zig zagging round some athletes). Nevertheless, super course, loads of cheer stations, local support, plenty of water stations (and water in bottles.... you know my dislike of being handed a plastic white cup of water in a race). :-)

Toilets as at every race are always a mare, 20p can get you into the loos at Traflagar Square (which were empty when I got there), so worth the pennies to spend a penny! :-) 

All the landmarks and quirky little places (EG. Guy Fawkes house) were signposted, so you could look out for them.  Guildhall School of Music & Drama provided plenty of on course entertainment. 

Some of the turns were a little tight on the course but you can wipe that out as the rest of the race totally makes up for it. Nice flat race, apart from the downhill (always welcome a downhill in a race) leading to 5k and your first water station and a nice little gradient around mile 9-10, that leads up to the turn for the Embankment into your last 5k of the run.

Fabulous to hear Bow Bells ringing as you run past, suffragettes cheering you on, and it's not every day you get a Chelsea Pensioner or Pearly Queen handing you your medal at the finish line. (and an awesome medal, TOP MARKS!) We all love a bit of good bling. :-) 

LLHM have totally embraced everything that is Traditional London and thrown it all and more into one race.

Love, love, loved it.  I will be signing up for next year. Totally worth the money and trip from Wales
