← RunThrough Aintree 5k, 10k & Half Marathon - February

3rd time running at Run Aintree races (10k & 2xhalf)

This time was the half, easy registration with race number posted with option to collect on the day also. 

Parking available onsite and in business park around the racecourse.
Half Marathon starts first with 10k & 5k distances heading out a hour later. 

For the half it’s 4 laps of the course, apart from a little hill just after the start and every 5k after, it’s a nice flat course. Great PB potential due to the flatness and having laps it’s easy to push mentally knowing where you are on the route.
Water is available every 5k, lots of encouragment from the marshalls at varying points and a musician on a loop back too.
A nice medal at the end (which is the same for all distances but different at each of the 4 races throughout the year) along with water, bananas and the best flapjacks in the world!!!
