Reviews
Was a decent course and well marshalled and getting to and from the event was very easy, the organisation on road closures and as I mentioned marshalls were first class. However I felt there should have been some energy gels for runners or even electrolytes. Only 3 water stops wasn't the best especially on a muggy day when doing 13.1 miles.

Thank you to the very supportive marshals and volunteers throughout the course! I loved the half marathon and the course - very happy to have done it! A bit disappointed that nuun goodies that were promised at the finish were not given.
