· 2019 Half Marathon ·

I signed up for this one as I wanted to get some early miles in at the start of November.  Reading reviews on here I was tentative but I gave it a go.  They offer distances of 5k/10k/10m and half marathon which is really useful as my wife is building up her distance again so was able to do the 5k whilst I did the half.

Registration and bag drop at the race village which was fairly efficient.

The route was loops of the city.  Half marathon set off first with an out and back and then set off on 4 loops.  A couple of steep hills added a nice challenge for the legs.  By lap 4 the hills were tricky but I pushed on to the end.

Nice t-shirt at the end and a small medal.  For the price this was very reasonable.  Support felt a little limited.  People milling around the town centre willing you on but other than that the only support was from the marshalls (who were pretty good on the whole)
