its not too bad, each lap is 2 1/4 miles and is on good footpaths / tracks the two long bit are both besides water river and canal.
The marshalls normally have a full running list eash so if they see your number and read quick enough will give you support - really good friendly race.
the goody bag is okay, filled with a bit of light lunch and an energy drink (well it has been for the last few years.
Enough tempting or do you want more.........
They also seem to have a great sense of humour, the last few years have produced a few laughs.......
I've never done a half, except the first half of a full marathon in about 1:47, so am hoping to do OK. It'll sure be nice not to have to run ANOTHER 13 miles after the first 13!
Keep in touch and maybe see some of you there.
Which Marathon are you doing Left Foot.
I am doing Halstead Marathon tomorrow. Then probably Abingdon in October.
Pondering this as my first half (usually run 10k). Looks like a small number of runners. Is this for the hard-core runners on here? (am i going to be trailing in way at the back basically!)
Looks like a good course for a decent time.
Over the last 3 years have done
2004 - 1:33
2005 - 1:43
2006 - 1:36
I doubt you will be left behind at those times have given me in or around top 30.
Left foot - did Halstead Marathon yesteday got a new pb by 1 min 05 secs now down to 3:33:47.
Take care
Recevied confirmation of entry yesterday. (Collect number on the day)
Now to pray that its not too hot on the day.....
its a good mixture of playing field grass, hard flat mud footpaths, cycle / footpaths and light gravel. Dead pan flat and a great race.
It was a bit slippery last year through the wooded section which is about 1/2 mile long, but nothing that was too bad or that road shoes couldn't cope with.
Please PLEASE stop
Worth travelling for Hippo-my brother lives round the corner that is why I have done it
and on a Saturday too
Rosas Mun - there are a few fast guys last year was won in 1:16 I think, but you are right there are no club champs assciated with it, just several individual club runners (no team prizes).
I think i entered this in 2004, not realising it was on a Saturday-and then couldnt do it
