Really enjoyed taking part in the Newark Half Marathon! The organisation was excellent, the route was enjoyable and relatively flat, and there were well-placed water stations along the way. Overall, it was a really positive experience and a great event to be part of The only slight disappointment was that despite being advertised as a closed-road race, I encountered a number of cars and some rather arrogant cyclists on the course which was frustrating That aside, it was a very well organised event and one I’d happily recommend

A good new route; slightly undulating in places but mainly earlier on in the race. Superbly organised. Enough water stations and in handy small bottles. The pacer I followed for 1:50 pace was absolutely fantastic. Probably the best pacer I’ve ever followed
