Having taken part in this event last summer, it was one event that I wanted to do again in 2019. Registration was straight forward, although I didn't receive a confirmation email after everything was completed. After an email to RunThrough, a speedy response confirmed my place. Race Information was sent out with no issues. On the day, the very cold temperatures didn't effect the spirit of the day. The portaloos were out of action but one of the bar area's under the stand that was also being used as the bag drop area, was opened up for us to keep warm and use the toilet facilities. That was much appreciated! Half Marathon consists of an out and back section making up 1km, then 4 x 5km laps. Course is mostly tarmac paths, on the inside and outside of the race circuit, and is overall flat apart from a small incline just after the start line. There is a water station on the start of each lap too. Post race, you receive a medal along with water & fruit available at the finish line. It's a nice medal, but a suggestion for future events would be a different coloured ribbon around them for each distance ran, instead of everyone receiving the same. Another enjoyable and well delivered event down at Aintree in the whole, will hopefully be back later in the year!
