Thanks - That is a really useful link actually - I have been wondering for ages what the route actually is. Only thing is the first mile seems a bit longer than the rest based on that image. Or I am nitpicking.

not really looked too hard at the map. 1st mile could depend on where the actual start point is rather than where its been pinned on the map as being.
Mmmm, he didn't bring mine today. Will wait till tomorrow!
All I can add if you haven't done this before is make sure you're covered for all weather! The track is very open and exposed in places. 2 of the 3 times I've run it it has been snowing!!!
Well it wasn't my regular postie doing the delivering for thos - it was one of those special delivery ones, but they might have blacklisted me for being a general nuisance
My mate got her pack on Thursday 25 too, still nothing here. Maybe it's alphabetical - she's a G, I'm an M.
Looking forward to this one - it was my first half in 2006 and I don't remember a thing about it - I was awestruck [or something]. The chip flew off my shoe right near the start and my finish line photo had a giant worm thing and somebody throwing up in it.
This will be my first half marathon. I have done a few road and cross country 10k's and am looking forward to just finishing. I think sub 2hr 30 is a safe figure to aim for as my training has been very slow since Christmas.
I popped on to the thread just to warn folks to sort out travel for the day nice and early because the number of people panicing has become folk law on here and other running site's. Not racing it or anything but if your asking for a lift in a thread don't be surprised or upset if you get some very strainge replies as well as a hopefully a lift.
All the best everyone running it. Was meant to be my first half mara, but my IT band got the better of me and I have to pull out. I seriously hoped it would heal up by now seeing as it has been close to 3 weeks now, but no such luck. Absolutely gutted
Just rang the organizers, said my pack was sent out last week... so it much be floating around royal mail somewhere
But they said they would get another pack ready for when i get there, to pick up on the day, suggest anyone that hasn't got the pack at least by tomorrow does the same.
Can someone please tell me how they got the organizer on the phone? All I got was a recorded message saying packs will be with you approx 2 weeks before the event.
Don't go to the information part... if you wait there is an option to 'speak to one of our organizer for more information about an event'. Which should connect you with someone almost instantly.

Yeah I even got sunburnt on a rainy day watching the Grand Prix
Would love to do this race.
Aww man I want my pack. Damn postie hasn't sent it yet - they might be holding a grudge against me for those kettlebells I ordered last week.
I'll give it another week before I resort to panic
Postie just brought my pack. I'm number 6131.

So what's it like?
How're we all doing? Started my taper today, after my final 15-miler yesterday.
Got my pack last week by the way.
Good luck to everyone.
I have a 20 mile race on Saturday to get through first - won't be racing it, seriously looking forward to this half though.
Still no race back, glad to see I'm not the only one.

just to say that i rang the organisers today re race packs - they said that charity place packs are being sent out this week.

good luck to every one running and commiserations to those of you nursing injuries
But they said they would get another pack ready for when i get there, to pick up on the day, suggest anyone that hasn't got the pack at least by tomorrow does the same.
