It was wonderful! I’d say a little congested. I was in pen b and that was rammed, loads of mixed abilities and lots of weaving and jostling for space. Apart from that, it was a flawless day, thanks so much, incredible support out there. And LOVE the t shirt 😉

We were told that we will pass the water station 7 times but I only needed to pass it 6 times. The instructions were confusing.

It was my first time running in Victoria park and I absolutely loved it. It went so quick! Great course if you are aiming for PB or if it's your first half as the course is not hard and pretty flat. As suggestion, I would add a ststion with energy gels but understand: it's extra rubbish and cost.

I'm from Singapore and was in London that week for work, but was also looking to do a long run as I was training for a full marathon. I found out about you online - registration was a cinch and the race was easy to get to and well-organised. I was thus able to run 21.1 km, with water stations, an electric atmosphere and in a safe environment to boot. Thanks!-Kelly Koh
