I entered this race at quite late notice. The appeal of running across the iconic Humber Bridge was very tempting.

Reason for my delay was chest issues made hilly runs quite difficult.

I'd heard horror stories of the mile long 'Cardiac Hill' and one or two dauting inclines to tackle.

As it happens, theses hills were challenging but I have done worse.

Registration was simple. Participants were kept updated with regular emails.

There was a good pre-race atmosphere at race HQ.

Baggage drop was also straight forward, without any queues.

All good, thus far.

The race itself was challenging but also had odd fast section.

Only complaint was parts of the course were quite narrow so became congested.

Water stations were plentyful. Marshals did a fantstic job and local support was decent.

The run across the bridge was something different. The hills were testing but it added to the fun.

Overall it was a very good route but certainly not a PB course.

After the infamous 'Cardiac Hill' the runners were treated to a nice downhill section before a somewhat breezy return across the bridge and onto the finish.

Finishers were rewarded with an ok medal (but not spectacular) , finishers shirt and various munchies, water and enegy drinks.

The finishers shirt was disappointing with far too many adverts and no image of the iconic bridge.

There was also a free massage option - always welcome after a hard race.

Overall, it was a great day with a good atmosphere.

It's a race I would do again.
