← Leeds Half Marathon
I entered the Leeds half because I needed a hilly half marathon to do as a training run. This turned out to be an excellent choice. The course was very undulating and perfect for my needs. The race route is as out and back starting in the city centre and goes through residential areas. The organisation and atmosphere were excellent. There were different starts for based on estimated finishing times and each wave had its own baggage drop. There were about three refreshment stations offering water and energy gel but I didn't need to use them. The marshalls and volunteers did an excellent job on the day. Finishers were provided medals, water, a goody bag and Erdinger non-aloholic beer at the finish area. I would defintely recommend the Leeds half for anyone trying to include hill training in their training plans.
