Good event, well organised and always a fairly big field. Starts in Cassiobury park i nthe centre but heads out into the countryside and is largely a rural run.
Not an easy course it is somewhat hilly in places but I would recommend it.
Womble, are you doing it this Feb? If so, we may meet again!
found the course map, got v confused, thought Sarratt was further away!
TL - thanks for the warning. That's a horrible place to put a hill...
Sent off my entry form this morning...
anyone else doing it?
Womble, I'll give you the day off litter collecting if you tell me where those facilities are!!
Watford is definitively a half marathon to do. It is undulating on the first half but still a great (the best) half marathon. And it is on my do it every time again list.
And this time it will be our club championship half marathon, so enter it and don't forget wear your sepie vest.
Dr Galah, what a beauty you are!
I have to buy a serpie vest first! Have been too embarrassed to do so yet, thought I was too slow to wear club kit! I do believe that I was officially the Slowest Serpie in Amsterdam.
grew up in Chorleywood...
Small world......Just saw this thread. I almost bought a house in Brushwood Drive but the seller pulled out on me at the last minute.Then I just missed a house in Quickley lane and I am now hoping to buy in Carpenters Wood Drive, so hopefully I will be living in Chorleywood soon. The Chess valley looks a great place to run.
I will be runnung the Watford Half next year.
Are you running the Ricky 9 on Sunday[if you have never run it, it is a good race going out along Dog Kennel lane].
I'm in Whitelands Ave and run the Peppermill Restaurant in the high st.
Chess valley is a great place to run with so many footpaths and trails I live not too far from the footpath to Whitelands woods so it's a great run for me pretty much all off road.
Are you member of a running club? If not look me up and I'll intoduce you to Chiltern Harriers in Chesham.
Best of luck with the house.
I,m already in a running club over in Hatch End. It's a small club called Metros, you may have seen a few of us out and about at local races. A couple of weeks ago I ran one of Chiltern Harriers races, the Amersham 5 [what a hill] and I may well be running Herberts hole.
If your about on the course tomorrow,it would be good to meet you, I will have a yellow Metros top and running no.227.
Regards, Peter.
Do you get much support out on the course? Some of those roads are a bit long and rural!
Great run (and if you fancy it a few reps up north hill)
Did you do Watford last weekend. I did but found it tough due to having been to a fortieth birthday party the night before !
This run is good. Not entered yet but will do. Actually Snicks 1:38 is a good time because I think this is a toughish course
As you can probably gather the course is mainly rural and doesn't lend itself for ease of access for supporters. Most of the support comes at the start and the finish, however the course passes a few pubs so expect a few cheers and raised glasses as run past. Hope this helps.
I think there were 3 challenging hills in total, but then coming back down them was good too!
