Unfortunately I am away over the week that the race is on, but it was my first half ever and I really enjoyed it, though I did find it was rather hilly. I did Chester in May of this year and achieved a faster time by 15 mins compared to Helsby.
i have however now entered the berlin marathon so going to race at Chester half and Village Bakery in Wrexham, both great races.
Is there an on-line route anywhere to periuse? i'm interested in the course elevations etc.
Ta!
Here's the elevation off my garmin...it looks bad but it's really not that steep.
so thats 300 ft of pretty much un-interrupted climb between mile 5 and mile 10.5... and then a lovely downhill bit to the finish!
300ft isnt actually that much though is it?
Thanks for that
Haven't done a half since Congleton in October but have done a few 10s so here's hoping,,,, how bad are the hills?
Hmmm haven't done anything over 3 miles since August 1st !
Better start training
hills are not too bad - it's pretty much flat until mile 8 - then you get some dulation - the good news is that the last 1.5 miles is all down hill, for a nice strong finish
Great race and atmosphere - plus a bottle of beer when you finish!
Just wish I had a place
Hooray got a place was on website at 12 midnight to make sure i got in especially since i am supposed to be training for london marathon!!

Hi Dan
Misunderstanding, I am NOT running so my place is available to anyone who wants to run.
Regards
Nathalie
Cona - I misread Nathalies post, might also be worth putting it on TT and fetch
