Manchester half marathon is fantastic, done it the past two years now and it’s always been a fantastic well supported run, it’s great running through the city and the support from the locals is superb, always get adults and even children stood with free sweets and chocolate to keep you going. Water stations are always stocked up and well marshalled so you don’t need to stop to grab your drink like many other races. The only down fall in 2019 was the waiting time in the pens to get started and the no t-shirt at the end of the run. The t-shirt in 2018 was great and I still wear it now so why you didn’t get one in 2019 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ I understand about the race pens being there for safety and to get the quicker runners off first and that but when your suppose to start at 9am but don’t cross the start line until gone 9.30 and it’s raining and very cold isn’t ideal. All in all I will be back in 2020
