Fast and flat. The half marathon is an enjoyable fast and flat route with amazing views of the Liverpool coastline. Well organised with lots of marshals to let you know where to go and signposts along the route.
Great medal and T-shirt (Small was still too big though, would be nice to see some race T-shirts to fit smaller women), and goodie bag items handed out individually which is a great idea to save on waste and plastic bags!
