← Rotary Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon
This was my first half, and what an introduction! Parking logistics easy, marshalls all v helpful and supportive, the local residents were so encouraging - and their jelly-baby donations much appreciated! Beautiful scenery in centre of Stratford and then out into the countryside.
The course itself is pretty much flat, other than the hill at 8m - pretty steep, but once you’re over it you know you’re nearly there. Last bit is off road, which mentally was a little bit tough for a novice, but totally worth it for the personal shout out you get crossing the finish line! Would definitely do it again.
