A perfect starter or your First-ever Half. Numbers first: there were more than 16,000 participants (if any trust to the official results), but definitely much more people overall participated in this event. Without any doubt, it was the biggest race in my modest running career, so far. Nevertheless, the race was very well organised, as well as the starting village. Perfect timing, very spacious and well accessible area, all necessary facilities and what not. The course was very flat: just some rolling hills and a couple of bridges, which is absolutely typical for London. My Garmin watch measured only about 67m of elevation for the entire race.
