For all you runners out there make sure you enter the this years Clowne 1/2 Marathon. This is a gold graded race by BARR. With it being our 25th race we expect the 700 max. to be filled well before race day. This year we have a tee shirt for all of those who finish. It's an undulating course but many runners do get personal bests. So don't delay and we all look forward to seeing you on the 29th November.

I will be entering soon as I missed last year as I had broke my ankle at the time but now running again and training for the fleetwood mararthon
yours is a great course and glad of the showers after
doing sheffield at the end of month
Will defo enter again - 3 years now.
Request : not a t-shirt, please! I've got a wardrobe full of t-shirts that I don't wear, but the laser etched glass block last year is shown pride of place!
Oh, and can we have bottled water - i'd pay another 50p entry for this alone!
HI MICHAEL,
You can now enter on line, glad to hear you're back running. Did you have a good run at Sheffield?
HI JOHNNO,
We've almost run out of ideas now for memento's so a tee shirt was the obvious choice. It's a coolmaz and not the fruit of the loom you usually get. There great for training and last forever.
If it helps, I have a couple of glass blocks left if you really want one. Bottled water is being sourced but proving difficult.
Lewis
great race got 1h39 and was happy with that wish I could have been at your race last year sheffield hot race
doing Leeds a week on sunday
Is this race any good for beginners who may take a while or is it just for the speedy amongst us?

its for anyone who wants to do it not many hills and more flat bits but good turn out at this race
HI LISA,
We welcome runners of all standards, young, old, fast and not so fast.
hi michael, a fractured toe seems a reasonable excuse to me, just make sure you stay trouble free for the 25th Clowne 1/2. It's going to be a good one.
I think i'll go for this good excuse for a weekend in the peaks. thanks guys

it was my ankle
but now going great ran Eyam half in 1h45 and Buxton in 1h43 so going good entered the anglsey mararthon
will be my 4th full one
I did Blackpool 3 times 2004/5/6 2005 was that very hot one
Persuade me as to why Clowne is worth adding!
not that tough just a few little hills but a long road bit at mile 11 and 12
it runs into the countryside really good route
Lee
it is a good race support at start and finish is great going to enter shortly
Did this one last year and enjoyed it, also quite local to me so it looks like i'll be doing it again.
See you all there
This will be my 3rd year in a row. It's a great event as the hills are manageable. I remember two, 1 being a pretty tough climb about midway before you enter a few villages and the last 2 miles along the side of the road.
It's a friendly, well marshalled course with water and sponges which are very welcome.
This was my first half and I thouroughly enjoyed the challenge it presented, i'd say it is quite a hilly course. I found it quite tough, particularly the long hill ( about 1mile long) at about mile 10 that lead to the long roadside drag others have refered to. That drag was made particularly hard by the strong cold head wind prevalent on the day.
I have to agree about the memento, I got the laser block which i thought was fantastic, so much better than the medals and t shirts i've since had at other events. It showed real imagination on the part of the organisers for which they should be congratulated. It was a well organised event
It was bottled water last year, perhaps the down side of that is the waste involved, the bottles are half litre and look how many are thrown away with a fraction of the contents consumed.
I will be back this year
I've just signed up for this. It's going to be my first half-marathon as well! I only started running in January, I've come a long way since then though. My longest run so far has been ~12 miles, that was in the summer and was a bit stop-start.
Lewis, speaking as a new-ish runner i like getting t-shirts. It's nice to slowly swap out the old XXL shirts i've been using as they are a bit "tent-like" on the new slimline me.
Fingers crossed for nice running weather on the day...
were booked to run this ( Again )
it is a superb event -
