Good introduction to race events. This was my first ever race, and my first half marathon. When I applied through findarace.com I got confirmation of my registration with a day or two, and instructions for race day six days prior to the event. Arriving at the event, it was easy to get booked in, and the race itself was well supported throughout the run with more than enough water stations along the route. It would have been nice to have a map of the planned route, but I couldn't find this either from findarace.com or from time2run.com or from the emails I received. It may be that I simply couldn't find it, and it didn't stop me enjoying the day. All in all, a great introduction to race events.
Thanks for the review Andrew and congrats on your first race! We're looking to add map routes and further race details very soon. Thanks for using findarace.com
