← City of Norwich Half Marathon
i was foolish enough to sign up to this thinking it would be around the lovely city of Norwich, and assuming It would be nice and flat. It is neither!
the course starts and ends at the Norfolk Showground and you run about a mile around it at both the beginning and the end. It’s a really surprisingly hilly course - very undulating and that made it quite tough. Support from locals is there, but it seemed fairly low key - e.g. no giving out jelly babies...unless they just didn’t offer me!
water is in cups which is slightly irritating but the marshalls are great - I hit the wall at about eleven miles and a Marshall walked alongside me for a bit to check I was okay.
overall it’s a great event, I’ll be back next year but with a bit more preparation for the type of course!
