I've done this race in 2016 so I kind of knew what to expect.
Newark Half Marathon was a really good event. Registration & baggage were simple enough. There was a good pre-race atmosphere.
Race itself was fairly fast with couple of hills to tackle but nothing too bad.
Course was mostly on country roads with reasonable views.
Marshal support was excellent. Local support was pretty good too.
Drink stations were fairly regular with only cupped water on offer. Not perfect but it did the trick ok.
Final half mile had grass section to test tired legs.
Finishers were rewarded with a good, quality tech shirt & a reasonable medal. Finishers bag which contained various bits to eat & water.
There was also a free massage option with I took advantage of.
It was very welcome.
All things considered, it was a very good day and good value for money.
The course isn't entirely flat but it has potential for a decent time.
