Loved doing this race, very well organised and well spectated. Fireworks at the start were fantastic and the atmosphere was good. I managed to run a pb as well 1hr 31.09. Will be coming back next year for sure.
Benidorm was great ran 1hr 33. 25 secs not bad for a 68 year old. But what are the age catogories there seems to be some con fusion. Where can you view the results?
Great time you got there. You can view results on benidorm medio maraton website. I had a look and you came 8th in your catagory...........very well done.
Ha ha. Yet top night chiefy.looks like you lads were having a great time.have a vague memory of you going to get the beers in and that was the last time you were seen
Hi Natalie, I've done it the last 2 years - really enjoy it, still reasonably lively over the weekend as well and you're not short of a place to get a drink!
Happy to show you & your pals around in November.
You usually get a few thousand enter the race, good mid size event.
Usually starts at about 6pm Sat evening.
Weather was good this year but p1ssed it down the year before.
dont think the sites open yet. will get the detials for ya. been the last few years and you can get a good all inclusive for about £25 notes a night if you book early enough.
great race last year, fireworks at night just after it started and great atmosphere. some good acts on as well.
Not checked in on this one for a while... The Running Crazy website says it's on Saturday 24th Nov 12, but the 'official' site, still shows info/blurb about the 2011 event?? http://www.benidormmediomaraton.com/en/index.asp
cheers snake hips. been checking it out and its down as on 24Nov on a few of the spanish running sites. Just wondering whether its actually been confirmed.
wonder if the elvi are going this year - i think that what you call a gang of elvis's anyway

top top race. loved the fireworks and the guy in the spiderman costume. Did he finish ?
great to meet some of the other runners, and the usual smattering of the characters bennidorm has to offer. it definitely does what it says on the tin
lets get next years booked.
Will be coming back next year for sure.
Hope everyone else had a good time

Anything else let me know.
BTW, anyone want a place at this Sunday's Liverpool Half?
Got a spare place now so anyone want it make an offer by pm and can arrange.
What's the best site to use or best way to enter the Benidorm Half directly?
Had an email today, via my club, from Running Crazy, but I suspect that their packages might be pricier than sorting the while lot yourself!
Plus, me and the missus fancy a long weekend w/o the kids... woo-hoo!
Thanks in advance.

I found the 'official' site, but it's still got the 2011 race details on it, so any details you have are gratefully received...
I have heard it's a good crack and despite it's reputation, me and the missus love Benidorm!
Cheers!
confirmed is the race to be jedi master.
yeah also found the official site and another site saying TBC.
Will get in touch with the Spanish tourist board and see what the plan is.
The force is strong with you jedi barry tone!
If you find out any information send it to me you must!
