Did the race in 2019
The 'holding' zones prior to the start was very odd, and took something away from the actual starting of the race. For the medal engraving at the end, i asked about six marshalls, three didnt know, two pointed me in the wrong direction. Once I got there, the guys in the tent didnt have your time. Why? Lots of room for improvement.

A well organised race. Great atmosphere and fantastic support along the way. There are a variety of bands along the route very carnival like. There are a couple of large hills but luckily they are at the beginning of the race the rest of the course is relatively flat. Would highly recommend.

Much better organised than the Sheffield Half. Course was quite narrow in places where it was limited to 1 Lane of a dual caridgeway and the other lane was still live but reduced to 30mph

A well organised and challenging Half Marathon. The course starts in the city centre then goes out and around it before coming back in to the finish. The course has plenty of uphill and downhill and has great support all the way around.
