Did the Half Marathon in 2019Great route, was nice and flat with lovely scenery of the North Wales coastal path, great marshals and a very well organised event, the medal was the best one I have ever received and the band at the end on the beach where awesome.
The best half marathon around. This company go above & beyond to make sure everyone has the best experience. So personal with a great medal & tshirt
This is a perfect course - got my pb, the whole event was very well organised. Great finish with bands playing. Fantastic marshals and good Medals x
My first ever 1/2 marathon I enjoyed it so much that Im entered into the same 2/2 for 2020. Great event, love the medal. Good organisation
Amazing medal & T Shirt, all the organisations was great, the coaches worked from Nova, plenty of toilets along the course and more than enough water for a 1/2 marathon
Would recommend this half marathon to all, great racing, fast route and the best organisation from Bespoke Fitness. Medal is spot on.
Very well organised, fantastic medal and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back in 2020. Great course.
Loved everything about this race, the organisation of the transport was fantastic. Loved the course and the whole experience. Will be back in 2020
Fantastic course, the marshals where incredible and the whole organisation was outstanding, another tap on the back for Bespoke Fitness, they always have the best medals.
Fantastic event, very well organised, will definitely be doing this again. Fantastic Medal 🏅........
My favourite ever Half Marathon, cannot wait to take part in 2020, everything was so organised and the medal was the best ever.
Great event, head wind was against us but on the whole very well organised by Bespoke Fitness and a a fab medal and T shirt at the end.
Was a well organised race from start to finish along the beautiful North wales coast.<br />Awesome race medal as well.
Ran this in 2018 and although not the most interesting of courses if the wind is on your back it could give you a PB. It was well organised the transport was spot on and with the plus of a tshirt and medal.
Pretty uninspiring course with barely a spectator in sight! Path very narrow in places meaning passing other runners very difficult. Course wrongly measured! Amateurish

Did the Half Marathon in 2019Well organised event, head wind all the way, long sleeve top recommended as running along coastal path. 2 water stations and plenty of support along the way. Fabulous event and will certainly do it again
Despite the course being quite a bit too short and the relentless wind in the face, I enjoyed this run. Great PB potential (if the course was the correct distance and ideally if the wind stopped!). Good, simple organisation, no faffing about with mass starts, pointless warm-ups etc. Great t-shirt and medal. Glad I did it.
Loved the route and the experience of our first half marathon but the downside was the finish as groups of family and friends of other runners where just the other side of line to welcome them which caused u too have to weave ur way through the crowd to get ur medal etc.
Amazing race! A great course for a first half marathon or achieving a pb. Would definitely take part again!
Had a really good day. The race well organised the marshals were fab so supportive. The only little point maybe another water station. But that didnt spoil a great day.Thanks team see you next year. Pat Salisbury
I had an enjoyable experience running this super-flat course, setting a PB in the process. The course followed a point-to-point route from Colwyn Bay to Prestatyn along the north coast of North Wales. Being a point-to-point, we did unfortunately suffer from a constant headwind for the entire run, which was a little challenging. I don't live in the area, but if this is a prevailing wind, the organisers may want to run the race in the opposite direction in future years? The other thing that the organisers may want to change is the course length - my Garmin recorded the route at 12.96 miles, rather than the full 13.1, meaning there was no 'official' half marathon PB for me. All in all though a really well run event. Nice route, decent support, friendly marshals and huge PB potential (especially if you happen to run it on a non-windy day).

Did the Half Marathon in 2019Can't wait for next year, well organised and picturesque. nice flat course, mostly. Just brilliant. The event staff were happy and positive, band playing music on the sand at the finish line well done to the organisers.
Loved the course, good for head space. More undulating than I thought, head wind, great marshalls. Path wasnt as narrow as I was expecting so that was good too. A girl collapsed at the end who I helped but I had to walk what felt like a long way to find the first aid who apparently drove past us. I was looking gor a red cross, sign, white van? It was s grey van and no signs and he didnt appear to do very much? This was my only negative. Bagging area and transport excellent, organisation, timing super.
This was my first event after being away from running for some time. I trained for it and felt confident but nervous on the day that I would complete the course. The nerves soon went once the race commenced and I settled into a comfortable pace along side fellow runners. The event was well organised with plenty of water stops on route and energy gels if required. If I could give one piece of advice it would be, if you havent had energy gels before dont have them on the day for the first time as not everyone can tolerate them, I ended up with stomach cramps towards the end. Finished the race to cheers from a great crowd of people.
