Wasn't a big fan of the fact that there was an overlap of the 10k runners with the half marathon ones (10k started just 1hr after the half marathon). The paths on roundhay aren't the biggest to accommodate 2 big running groups with different distance goals.
Other than that it seemed well organised.

First ever run event & half marathon, and couldn’t have had a better experience. The whole set up was great & the marshals were all so encouraging and lovely all the way around the course. Lovely venue & got very lucky with the weather. Will definitely be returning for another.

Good course, logistics really good. Poor medal, same one for all distances and poor good bag. Please don’t give nuts to nut allergy sufferers…
