Did the race in 2022
Luckily the weather was brilliant, (not to do with you of course! ) .The organisation was exceptional, atmosphere tremendous. The two pacers for 2:45 were absolutely fantastic, all you could wish for. Positive and encouraging. This was my first half marathon ever, just turned 72. My aim to be inside the 3 hour cut off point. Decided to start at 2:45 pace and due to these two wonderful people I did 2:43:40 .Thank you so much. Would recommend this event to everyone who wants to complete a half marathon. Well done to everyone including the volunteers marshaling.

Just need to clamp down on people with headphones. at the back of the circuit, there is a section on country roads and a guy was just running down the middle of the road and couldn't even hear us shouting him when a vehicle was right behind him.

Loved that the 6.6 was part road and part trail. Lovely distance too. Liked that the registration is in a pub so there is time for a coffee and loo before heading round the corner to run. Finish at Delapre Abbey where your car is parked and the bag store will be. Will definitely be running the half next year

Enjoyed this great atmosphere at the start and end. Great support from the marshalls and those on the water stations. Has great potential to become a bigger and better event. Not much of a goody bag but was OK with this as sometimes full of just leaflets medal was original.
