← Gloucester Marathon

There were 3 race distances available on the day, a half, a marathon or a 50k ultra. I did the half marathon which was two laps on a nice flat route which resulted in a huge chunk knocked off my PB so that was a real positive. The only downside for me, and many others i spoke to, was the signage on the route. As there were three distances all doing varying numbers of laps of the same route the distance markers made no sense. I remember passing three largely different distance markers all within around 500m none of which matched the distance on my gps watch. Perhaps for future the distance markers for each event could be on different coloured signs that way runners could work out exactly where they are without confussion. Overall it was a reasonable run but not one I’d rush to do again.
