First time I’ve run this one but will be back
Brilliant all round - good facilities, great marshalling, good route, brilliant pace (sam 2:45) lovely medal and goodies at end 10/10
Fantastic half marathon
Well marshalled
Truly enjoyed my first half-marathon
At the start line, the Pacers could have been more visible. Otherwise, great power of the purple army.
Great experience
Great event, fabulous atmosphere from marshals and spectators - perfect for a PB
Was amazing
Great value, great volunteers, great fun.
Thoroughly enjoyable - well organised, friendly, great atmosphere throughout. Only small gripe is lack of cubicles in (men's) toilets - slow moving queues in every stand.
Amazing half marathon, great atmosphere marshals and supports were brilliant. Loved it
well orginised
Fantastic atmosphere, brilliant organisation definitely will do it again
An excellent event inviting the best from runners and supporters alike.
Water stations were a bit chaotic.
Need more cups ready to go and spread either side of the road and/or over more tables if possible. Water was also very cold so harder to drink. Parking and marshalling was excellent. Great route, although would be good to take in more of the city if possible like the South side.
Loved every second
It’s been 9 years since I last took part in Colchester Half Marathon. It’s incredible to see how far it’s come and how much the community get involved ! It felt amazing to have so much support. ONLY down side I will mention is there could have been an extra water station or two. I didn’t feel like there was enough . But we survived so all is well :D
Very good run
My first half marathon was really good thanks
Well organised
Great half marathon, well organised. Good route. Well supported.
Immaculate vibes
Great Atmosphere on a great route
Organisation and communication before the race was easy and clear.
The atmosphere on the day was great - plenty of stewards and help from the organisers made everything run smooth and lots of people turned out in support. Over 3000 runners so it felt like a massive race and you where never alone.
A great event.
So much fun and great vibes
Would have liked the pacers to have had flags so you can see them better
Excellent
The volunteer Marshall did a fantastic job well done
Can’t wait for next year
Fantastic, well organised
Great event.
Can you include a T shirt within the cost next year
Great organisation
Very well organised
I remember more water stations last year or maybe I was just thirsty today :)
