This is second time I have done this race.

Run For All are without doubt, my favorite race organisers. 

They always put on a great event and look after all taking part.

2017 Leeds Half Marathon was no exception.

Event village had a nice, warm atmosphere. Baggage drop ran like clock work. All very good.

Race itself is quite tough. City centre start with a hilly 3 - 7 miles.

Some of the pathways got a little congested at times.

Route has a fast 2nd half. Course doesn't quite do Leeds justice but it's a decent enough run. Final trek along Kirkstall Road can be quite testing (mentally) before a decent city centre finish in front of civic hall.

Marshal support was 1st class, as was the support from Leeds public.

Water stations were regular, with water and gels as race reached mid way point.

Finishers were rewarded with a top quality medal, finishers shirt and excellent finishers bag. There was also pints of Erdinger 0% larger for free.

Another nice bonus was free sports massage and medal engraving.

When you break it down, it's great value for money.

I have already signed up for the 2018 race. It was a very easy decision.
