Ran the Berkhamstead Half-Marathon for the second time last weekend. The course is undulating, with a couple of long hills and the odd short, sharp ones. And pretty too. It winds out of the town, along the main road to Hemel Hempstead for a short distance before it heads off for villages and woods, though the route is all road. The last mile is downhill so makes for a fast finish.
However, it does have some downsides: pretty shambolic start, poor finishing area and absolutely no goodie bag at the end. I am not usually bothered about that sort of thing, but I was left wondering exactly what I got for my £17 entry fee.
But don’t just take my word for things, click here to read what other runners think.
