Course was challenging for the first half of the race which was good but I felt the race experience was disappointing. The race pack informed that one of the car parks was free when in actual fact a charge applied. The race village was non-existent which was poor on such a cold morning. There was no water stop after 7 miles as the scheduled 3rd stop had run out after the 10k runners passed through. The signage from 11 miles was awful and the marshalls from 11 miles were not at all helpful, preferring to look at phones or look the other way. After the first half of the race when you went back through town people were walking across the route causing runners to weave and I saw the half marathon leaders held up by 10k runners as they exited the park. I certainly would not run Luton again.

Everything was fine, very nice tour for Half Marathon via Luton Hoo - as always. No finishers t-shirt this year, but for me it's not important.

Organiser's description
Love Luton is delighted to host the 10th running event for the town.
The half marathon, 10k & 5k races will start and finish from the same central location, St Georges Square in Luton town centre.
The half marathon course takes in the stunning grounds of Luton Hoo estate with runners passing the iconic mansion house and breath-taking landscape. The 10k & 5km routes will not go into the grounds of Luton Hoo and therefore makes the course much more accessible to all, but still a great opportunity for those raising money for charities or looking to take on a new challenge whilst still getting to experience the great atmosphere on the day. All courses are on road, some parts are hilly making the course challenging at times but they are evenly spread throughout. All this coupled with beautiful scenery and being traffic free makes for a wonderful experience.
Love Luton is delighted to have Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf & Spa and Active Luton as the official race partners.
Spaces are limited so runners are encouraged to sign up early to avoid disappointment.
The Half Marathon race will begin at 9am, 10K at 8:50am and the 5K at 8:45am. All runners will have a maximum of three hours to finish. A fully qualified and experienced convoy will follow the race and will lift the road closures as soon as it is safe to do so, allowing traffic to flow as normal. All road closures will be lifted by no later than 12:30pm.
Community Interest Luton are thrilled to be working in partnership with Love Luton to manage the legendry volunteer campaign. Each year hundreds of amazing people generously give their time to ensure a fun and safe race for all. There are lots of volunteering opportunities from marshalling through to assisting runners at the finish line.
