This was first time I had done this race so wasn't quite sure what to expect.

Registration was simple enough. Runners were kept well informed throughout with regular emails and news via social media.

Numbers were collection only. Not ideal but organisers happily allowed people to collect their friend's numbers along with there own.

Race had various distance including Marathon, half marathon and relay. This suited all abillities.

Baggage area was well organised, fast, simple and trouble free.

There was a complete ban on all ipods and music players which did upset some. This is a health and safety issue so I don't really have a problem with it.

Race stated outside KC Stadium and was on paths and roads.

Route was mixed but quite scenic in places. It took runners along the front (stunning views) before looping back on itself and going through dock yards and industrial estate.

Highlight was running across the iconic Humber Bridge before returning back over the bridge. Some of the views were quite stunning. Runners were then taken through an athletics track before heading to finishline inside the magnificent KC Stadium.

Course is described as 'flat' by organisers - I would describe is as slightly undulating with 2 or 3 hills to tackle.

Water stations were regular enough with gels & enegy drinks at later stations.

Marshal and local support were absolutely brilliant.

Finishing inside stadium was a nice touch.

On offer for finishers was a top quality medal, shirt and a few other bits n pieces.

Atmosphere inside the stadium was very good.

** On a seperate note, I accidentally left my timing chip at hotel.

Thankfully, they sorted me a new number & timing chip with no fuss.

Thanks, and sorry for any inconvieniance.

In summary this was a fantastic race to do.

I can't speak highly enough about the support from marshals and Hull public. It was first class.

I can't really think of many, or any negatives. Maybe enrgy drinks at earlier water stations should be considered?

I would definatly do this race again.
