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 :)
Great event
Bottles rotate than cups but overall great event thanks
Brilliant race and organisation
The marshalls did a brilliant job on the day and the spectator support was superior in comparison the half half marathons that I've done in London
Great Half, all round. No complaints here!
Amazing
Great event with lots of support along the way. Very well organised! First time for me and hopefully I'll give it ago again next year. A big well done to everyone!
Fantastic day
For my first event, it was well planned
The atmosphere and crowd really helped. All the volunteers were great and really encouraging. Look forward to next year
Fantastic atmosphere
Great email before hand which meant I knew to park at the park and ride
Awesome event..loved the atmosphere...support from Marshall.. brilliantly organised...can't fault it..
Well done, will be back next year...
Excellent well organised
Marshall’s were fabulous
Loved that all the toilets were open
Great that numbers emailed out in advance
Would have preferred a goody bag instead of digital one
I think bottles of water would be better for lots of reasons
Excellent event
First time runner, great encouragement from Marshalls and a really lovely route. Really well organised and a lot of fun!
